might actually be more a fast walk than a slow shuffle that the rhetoric is just that and a thawing of Frozen views is emerging more likely the one-day match between four of golf's biggest names is a matter of the players involved stepping up to give fans what they want sending a signal to the suits doing the behind the scenes talking that maybe this has gone on long enough the news dropped Wednesday that PGA Tour Stars Rory mooy and Scotty sheffel will take on live golf Stars Bryson deso and Brooks Kua in a one day made for TV match to be played in Las Vegas in December seems harmless enough and undoubtedly the zealots on each side of the Divide will make it into a PGA Tour vs live golf Grudge encounter even though such a competition will ultimately prove nothing and be more for bragging rights still it is a significant development in a world where these players otherwise would be unlikely to compete against one another again until the Masters that ultimately has been what fans care about seeing the best together more often when they've been divided due to the start of Liv Gulf the PGA tour's reaction to it and the subsequent framework agreement that is now 15 months in process with no end in sight it is instructive that mroy once a staunch critic of Liv golf who has since mellowed in his stance and sought to get a deal done confirmed the parameters of the competition to golf week's Eman Lynch leaving no room for conjecture about various sources and where the information might be coming from as a PGA Tour member who has signed over his media rights to the tour just as Sheffer has also done such an arrangement has to be approved by the tour even if there is no conflicting event to worry about that is unlikely to be a problem but this appears to have been orchestrated to make sure there is no interference it would look terrible now if the tour tried to prevent this from happening for some reason it was mooy last week in Atlanta who again expressed concern over the ongoing negotiations between the PGA Tour and the public investment fund of Saudi Arabia which funds live Gulf a day after PGA Tour commissioner J manahan again described negotiations as complicated while offering no timetable for a resolution mooy was asked his take after the first round of the Tour Championship I think anyone that cares about golf I think has to be frustrated mroy said I think anyone who cares about the PGA Tour has to be frustrated because we're not putting forward the absolute best product that we can I get the argument that these guys who went to the live golf league left and that was their choice and whatever
