"They’ve officially turned it down"- Mark Shapiro on their deal with the PGA Tour

Endeavor Group COO Mark Shapiro spoke about their deal with the PGA Tour. saying the Tour has officially turned it down:

“They’ve officially turned it down. We’re big fans of golf, and we’ll continue to champion the PGA Tour, but we’re not going to be an investor at any level."

“We asked for $25 million a year in services, and if they would have agreed to that, we would have been happy to make a minority investment. But we get it: They have a lot of suitors, a lot of bidders, a lot of attractive offers, and they declined. So we’ll just continue with our long-standing partnership as-is with the hopes of growing it further in the future," he added.

Earlier this year, the PGA Tour merged with a controversial LIV Golf, which has been backed by the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund. However, the agreement came under government scrutiny before it could be official.

The US government has been investigating the deal and will probably announce its decision by the end of this year.

The PGA Tour has also implemented numerous changes to its schedule for next year. They are set to include 16 degenerated events with elevated purses.
