The initiative to reach a deal is finally present. The upcoming weeks are uncertain. There may be a quick turnaround with LIV players participating in PGA Tour events this season. Alternatively, a longer wait might be necessary, except for the Majors.

The PGA Tour said on Thursday it had a "constructive working session" at the White House with President Donald Trump and LIV Golf Chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan on efforts to resolve the schism that exists between the two professional golf bodies.

The PGA Tour released a statement Thursday that has added another incremental update to the Tour's ongoing negotiations with the PIF, which runs LIV Golf. No, there's no announcement of a resolution.
