Breaking: The PGA Tour, LIV Golf and the DP World Tour have merged 'to unify the game of golf,' it was announced Tuesday. More:

In a statement, the circuits said the parties have signed an agreement that"combines PIF's golf-related commercial businesses and rights with the commercial businesses and rights of the PGA Tour and DP World Tour into a new, collectively owned, for-profit entity to ensure that all stakeholders benefit from a model that delivers maximum excitement and competition among the game's best players.

Monahan scheduled a players meeting for 4 p.m. ET Tuesday in Toronto, the site of this week's RBC Canadian Open. A player told ESPN that the PGA Tour's player advisory committee met with United States Golf Association officials in Columbus, Ohio, on Sunday. Monahan and other PGA Tour executives attended the meeting as well, but there was no discussion about a potential merger with LIV Golf.

Monahan wrote that the PGA Tour would evaluate how"best to integrate team golf into the professional game." He said LIV Golf would complete its 2023 schedule, which resumes later this month in Spain. Another PGA Tour member reached by ESPN on Tuesday, questioned why the merger needed to happen when, in his opinion, the PGA Tour was beating the LIV Golf League on the course and in the courts.
