Talks between the LIV and PGA Tours have continued in the last few weeks and it’s once again become a subject for golfers to be quizzed on ahead of big tournaments this weekend.
With the BMW PGA Championship taking place at Wentworth and LIV Golf rounding out its season over in Dallas, there’s plenty of on-course action to take in.
However, with fresh talks between LIV and the PGA taking place, plenty of questions have come the way of the golfers taking part in these events.
As usual, Rory McIlroy has been pressed and McIlroy spoke on the major stumbling blocks to any deal.
Talk of LIV players giving money back has also gone down like a lead balloon among fans, meaning that once again, we appear no further forward.
Of course, the players will want a say in matters as well. And with McIlroy mentioning a potential 50/50 split among current PGA players, one of those players, Michael Kim, has now voiced his concerns.
Michael Kim shares why he doesn’t want LIV and PGA deal
Taking to his personal account on X to deliver a long-winded and in-depth explanation of his own opinion, Michael Kim admitted that the reality is that he doesn’t really want a deal.
And going into more detail, he also suggested that there has to be some sort of consequence for the players who defected to LIV and then went on to sue the PGA Tour.
Kim among players unlikely to benefit from PGA and LIV deal
Michael Kim makes some interesting points here and a lot of them are valid and a lot of them will cause debate.
But the crux of the matter is that really, he is unlikely to benefit from the players from LIV returning to PGA events.

Given his status in the game – he finished 120th in the FedEx Cup standings – all it does my having more players back onboard is lower his chances of success in big events.
Of course, there are benefits on both sides of the fence here but as Kim mentions in his statement, there is a feeling among some that the ‘LIV defectors’ be punished.
Yet again, we seem a mile away from anything happening and for now, golf fans might as well get used to following the two separately.
