PGA Tour board member Patrick Cantlay sounding positive ahead of tomorrow’s historic meeting with Yasir Al-Rumayyan, Governor of the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF).

It will be the first time since news broke on June 6th last year ahead of the Canadian Open, news that rocked the ancient club-and-ball game to its very foundation with news the PIF will fund a coming together of the PGA and DP World Tour with LIV Golf.

Now just over nine months later representatives of the Tour, including possibly Tiger Woods, and Al-Rumayyan will meet formally in The Bahamas.

“I don’t imagine anything substantive,” Cantlay said at the close of his final round of the Players Championship.

“It’s more of a meet and greet.”

Cantlay said that he remains “all for” a deal with the PIF if it’s in the best interest of the entire PGA Tour membership and with the American also asked what he feels men’s pro golf landscape would look like if the two sides can’t come to a definitive agreement.

“I imagine if it weren’t to happen, we would go in a similar paradigm to where we’re going right now,” he said.

“I think there’s pros and cons, obviously.

“I’m going into the first meeting with the idea of listening a lot more than talking but I’m excited to hear all I’ll learn.”

Fellow policy board member Webb Simpson hinted last week of a danger in not doing a deal with the PIF, given the division of the past two years while Aussie Adam Scott stated ahead of the Players that he “absolutely” feels a sense of urgency about a possible deal.

“I would like to resolve all of this, no matter what the outcome is, and we can all move on,” Scott said.
