President Donald Trump has had a busy first 50 days in office, and according to PGA Tour player director Adam Scott, brokering a deal between the Tour and the Saudi-backed LIV Golf circuit isn’t high on the list of priorities. 

Scott and PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan met with President Trump on two occasions, the last of which was attended by Tiger Woods and Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia governor behind the creation of LIV.
