PGA Tour and DP World Tour announce alliance with Asian Tour

The PGA Tour and DP World Tour have formed a new alliance with the Asian Tour, announced during the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. This partnership will create co-sanctioned events and enhance playing opportunities for golfers in Asia. The strategic alliance extends through at least 2029, further isolating LIV Golf, which has already lost financial backing from Saudi Arabia. Rory McIlroy welcomes the collaboration, highlighting its potential benefits for international golf. LIV Golf, facing challenges, plans to incorporate national opens into its schedule as it seeks new investments.
