This week could be an important one for the future of golf. Not only are players from the PGA Tour, LIV Golf and DP World Tour gathered at St. Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns for the 2024 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, the leaders of all three are on site as well.
Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, LIV Golf’s Yasir Al-Rumayyan and DP World Tour CEO Guy Kinnings are in Scotland for one of the most fun event’s on golf’s calendar — Monahan and Al-Rumayyan were playing in the same group on Thursday.
Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, Tyrrell Hatton, Shane Lowry, Robert MacIntyre, Patrick Reed, Louis Oosthuizen and Billy Horschel are just some of the players representing the two sides of golf’s civil war taking on three of golf’s most infamous venues.
Here are some photos of golf’s leaders smiling and hugging it out during the first round across the pond.
