Adam Scott expects LIV Golf rift to continue even if tours combine

Golf's civil war has simmered down somewhat since it was revealed that the three major tours  - LIV, PGA and DP World - could merge under one banner. However, Scott thinks that bygo9ne may not be bygones even if a deal is reached.

"I wouldn't be surprised - or I wouldn't judge anyone, the members - if reunification happened and they weren't happy with how it happened," the major winner told ESPN.

"I hope they're not spending as much time talking about it as I have. I wouldn't hold it against anybody if there were negative emotions attached to it, the thought of players coming back.

"There's two people in this discussion, more to be honest - the DP World Tour, a lot of other stakeholders in the pro game. The tour and its representatives talk a lot about it. But we're not in control of the entire situation. There's another side to the story.

"It's not been an easy thing to solve, otherwise we'd have solved it, I believe."

Scott has been at the coalface of such discussions since joining the PGA Tour board at the start of 2024.
