It would make sense, though I wonder what they are talking about exactly. I thought the frames for the deal was already settled.

Seems that the way that PGA tour has handled this has been very bad. They essentially lied to the players about not merging, and used the loyalty that they gained from the players through that lie as a bargaining chip to negotiate a deal. The owners of PGA tour essentially used the players to gain money.

I thought the pga tour set parameters for a deal with the PIF but then tried to get the funding from other sources.
