The PGA has merged with LIV Golf and the reactions are as rough as you’d expect

After 19 months of disruption to the sport, the PGA has agreed to a merger with the Saudi LIV Golf, ending the legal wrangling and effectively reunifying the men’s game.

Players who had resisted the lure of a huge Saudi payout, such as Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa, may not be too happy with the merger, having stood by the PGA when they urged players to reject a move on moral grounds.

It isn’t just golfers and fans who are feeling betrayed since the shock announcement; families of 9/11 victims have spoken out.

Critics of the move had a mixture of responses – from outraged to high comedy. Here are some favourites.
