GOLF
Former European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley says there's work to be done to manage professional golf going forward.
An agreement was announced on Tuesday between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia to unify the game.
PGA Tour boss Jay Monahan caught his players by surprise by performing a u-turn in his attitude to the Saudi represenatives - who were behind the recent rival breakaway LIV tour.
And McGinley feels there must be financial parity, especially for the players who didn't take the significant purses on offer from LIV.
