Adam Scott is doing his utmost to focus on the Presidents Cup, but the Australian also needs to keep tabs on the future of the PGA Tour.
Scott was involved in talks with LIV Golf earlier this month, representing the PGA Tour as they aim to strike a deal with the PIF.
The Australian was joined by fellow tour member Tiger Woods in New York, with a $1billion agreement being planned.
There has, however, been a lack of updates on the discussions between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, with plenty of players seemingly in the dark about the future of golf.
Scott thinks the top players will be together by 2027, with the world’s best currently split between the traditional tour and the breakaway tour that is funded by the PIF.

Australian veteran Scott has now provided another verdict on the future of the game, having been asked about the possibility of a deal with the PIF in his Presidents Cup press conference.
“It’s possible it doesn’t happen,” he said. “I mean, it will ultimately be up to the Department of Justice to kind of guide that.

“So you know, I think as we have read and as Jay [Monahan] has said, you know, both parties are working toward a deal. But it’s not completely up to the two parties trying to do the deal.”
Will the PGA Tour and LIV Golf reach an agreement?
PGA Tour Commissioner Monahan is optimistic about players coming together, although it remains to be seen when that will be, if indeed it does happen.
The top players will undoubtedly want to be competing against each other, although the LIV stars are clearly favouring money over that incentive at this moment in time.
They are entitled to that decision, but it has certainly hurt their world ranking places given that the Official World Golf Ranking doesn’t recognise LIV events.

Scott, like many others, is now seemingly eager for a resolution, with the Australian continuing: “I don’t know, I see some media, and some of it is completely speculation or rumour.
“But it’s been going on a long time. So there’s times when it seems like it’s been… sorry, it’s constantly being worked on all the time.”
