Pelley, who will be replaced by current European Tour Deputy General Manager and CEO Guy Kinnings on April 2, has been pushing for a deal between the PGA Tour and LIV, which is backed by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF). ).
Pelley told The Times that he remains “convinced that the game will come together. Whether it’s six months, a year, two years or ten years, I think people are realizing that a collective product is best.” for world golf,” the Canadian said.
“This is the only way for growth and prize funding to continue at this level. It is inevitable,” he added.
Pelley, who was unlikely to witness the deal before he left, moved on to serve as President and CEO of MLSE, whose brands include the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs and the NBA team Toronto Raptors.
“Would I love to stay and see it finished? Yes. But you can’t control the timing,” he added.
