LIV Golf’s Yasir Al-Rumayyan, PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan and DP World Tour Chief Executive Officer Guy Kinnings are all expected to be at this week’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, a DP World Tour event contested over three of the most famous venues in golf: St. Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns, according to The Telegraph.
And in fact, Al-Rumayyan and Monahan are scheduled to play together in the pro-am, paired with PGA Tour-friendly Billy Horschel and Dean Burmester.
This will be the first time all three, Kinnings included, are at the same event since the game’s civil war began.

Three weeks ago, officials from the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund met in New York. The two parties are allegedly working on finalizing terms of a deal that would inject more than $1 billion from the PIF into PGA Tour Enterprises, the newly created for-profit entity launched earlier this year.
The field for the Dunhill Links is loaded with some of the biggest names in golf, including Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, Tyrrell Hatton, Shane Lowry, Robert MacIntyre, Patrick Reed, Louis Oosthuizen and Billy Horschel.
It’s hard to imagine a better spot for all golf’s biggest players to come together.
