Negotiations continue between the PGA tour and the state-owned Saudi investment fund PIF, which is behind the LIV tour.

But they are moving slowly – and have no deadline.

I don't think we want to limit ourselves in that way, says PGA tour commissioner Jay Monahan.

Monahan spoke at length about the subject at a press conference ahead of the PGA tour's final tournament at East Lake outside Atlanta, Georgia.

When a framework for cooperation was surprisingly presented at the beginning of last summer, the idea was that an agreement would be in place by the end of last year at the latest.

That didn't happen.

But the ambition is still to reach an agreement that allows all the world's best male golfers to compete against each other regularly.

It's a good and ambitious goal, says Monahan.

As I said earlier, we're in those discussions. We're at the negotiating table. But they (the negotiations) are complex and will take time.

The PGA tour's lucrative final tournament begins on Thursday, with Swedish star Ludvig Åberg as one of 30 players in the starting field.
