The LIV Golf merger is a major shakeup for the golf world. The new league is backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and is offering players huge signing bonuses and guaranteed prize money. The PGA Tour has responded by threatening to ban players who join LIV Golf.

It remains to be seen how the LIV Golf merger will play out. However, it is clear that it has the potential to significantly change the landscape of professional golf.

Here are some of the key details from the meeting:

Monahan reportedly told players that they would be "suspended indefinitely" if they joined LIV Golf.
Players expressed their concerns about Saudi Arabia's involvement in LIV Golf and the potential for the league to damage the PGA Tour's reputation.
Monahan defended the PGA Tour and its commitment to its players.
The meeting reportedly ended with players still divided on the issue of LIV Golf.
It remains to be seen how many players will ultimately choose to join LIV Golf. However, the meeting with Monahan suggests that the PGA Tour is prepared to take a hard line against players who do so.
