dropped a huge claim and said that the tour does not need the PIF deal now.

As per his role with in the policy board of the PGA Tour, Spieth has been involved in the merger talks along with Tiger Woods and Patrick Cantlay. With this new deal, the three-time major champion said he think they do not need the deal with the LIV Golf’s backers.

I don’t think it’s needed… I think that it should be extremely positive at this point that the ship’s turning and it can only go on the right way from here…We’re in a place where we could be better than we’ve ever been as a tour. Jordan Spieth on PGA Tour-PIF deal following SSG investment at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am press conference.

“I think the short answer is we don’t have to, and the long answer is, the positive there is unification … but I’m not sure if or how or when it would get done.”

This words from Spieth at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am press conference has once again stirred up debate among the golf community. This statement from him also comes after Greg Norman, assured his LIV Golf staff about their future through a letter.

It now remains to seen what will happen to the PGA Tour following his investment with SSG and what changes will take place. Will this deal actually effect the golf merger is also something fans are looking out for as the month of February rolls on.
