Chris DiMarco suggested a LIV
golf take over the PGA Champions Tour to have the purses boosted. The talks for the PGA Tour and LIV Golf to have a definitive merger have been ongoing since last June. And while December was the deadline for it, a proper decision is yet to come. The latest news stated that negotiations are proceeding and a resolution will be found by April. Amid this tussle, DiMarco, who plays at the PGA Tour Champions, suggested that the LIV fraternity take control of his tour and help in spiking the payouts for the golfers. He talked about the same in the SubPar podcast. PGA Tour Champions Golfer Hopes To Have LIV Golf As New Owner He started the conversation with the fact that he’s hoping LIV Golf will buy his league and help the event prizes go up substantially for the winners and other players. The Hoag Classic of the tour had a $2 million purse and the entire 2024 schedule boasted $67 million for 28 events. On the other hand, the PGA Tour has a $400 million purse for 38 events. In the same interview, DiMarco also seemed to support LIV golfers who jumped from their previous tour. He upheld the example of Graeme McDowell to legitimize his point. DiMarco was critical of Jay Monahan’s leadership and stated that it was terrible. Therefore, quite evidently, this golfer is in support of LIV Golf and could have switched if he had the choice.
