It’s been a while since there’s been any real movement on the PGA Tour and LIV Golf merger front, but Adam Scott has recently spoken out ahead of the Wyndham Championship.
Scott was part of a group that visited the White House some time ago, hoping President Trump might help move things forward.

Back then, there was optimism that Trump’s involvement could speed up negotiations. But progress has stalled, and at this point, it seems like the two sides are further apart than ever.
The PGA Tour now has Brian Rolapp in charge as CEO. Rolapp recently commented on LIV’s team concept, which continues to be a talking point.
With the Wyndham Championship coming up this week, Scott shared his thoughts on Rolapp’s role and where things stand between the two tours.

As one of the more experienced players on the TOUR, Adam Scott is often asked about golf’s direction and everything that comes with it.
But when asked about Rolapp and what’s next for the sport before the Wyndham, Scott made it clear that there hasn’t been much change.
“Yeah, obviously there’s not much happening between — I don’t know if more White House visits are really necessary. It was really quite an experience, I have to say,” Scott admitted.
“I haven’t, those conversations haven’t advanced far from there and with Brian stepping in, a lot of that’s going to fall onto his desk now. I think that he needs some time to kind of really get up to speed and understand what’s going on with that. And yeah, I mean, look, his credentials are obviously excellent on paper, but I have a few things that I really liked about Brian.
Has LIV Golf let the moment pass?
There was a time when it seemed like the sport couldn’t move forward without some of the players who left for LIV, and that they held all the leverage.
But now, the PGA Tour looks stronger than ever. While it’s good to see players like DeChambeau and Koepka still making their mark at majors, their absence from regular TOUR events isn’t as big a deal as it once seemed.
LIV had plenty of momentum early on and seemed to be driving things forward. But in 2025, it feels like that has shifted toward the PGA Tour.
The general sense now is that there’s no pressure on the PGA Tour to act quickly. If anything needs to change, it’s likely up to LIV to make the next move.
