Tour coach Nick Bradley believes the PGA Tour is "getting ready to sit around the table and coexist" with LIV Golf.

Bradley is best known for his work with former World No.1 and US Open champion Justin Rose, who he coached between 2006 and 2009.

Rose of course also went on to win an Olympic Gold Medal and the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup.

Bradley has trained over 400 professional golfers in total, including Sir Nick Faldo, Paul McGinley and Seamus Power.

He is also a two-time best selling author.

Both LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman and PGA Tour boss Jay Monahan have refused any potential opportunities for coexistence in recent times.

Monahan and Norman have traded barbs publicly and privately over the last 12 months.

It would therefore be something of a surprise if the two global Tours did decide to coexist, at least anytime in the future.

But Bradley thinks it will happen.

Mark my words…..
The @PGATOUR is getting ready to sit around the table and…..
Coexist…..
Get ready.#pgatour #LIVGolf

Back in September, Norman said he tried to work with the PGA Tour but they declined, and so he's thrown in the towel.

Norman said last year he believes the PGA Tour is "trying to destroy" them.

"We tried awfully hard, I know I did personally for the past year... when we knew we were never going to hear from them, we just decided to go.

"We have no interest in sitting down with them, to be honest with you, because our product is working.

"It [LIV Golf] was always an additive to all tours.

"This notion we’re trying to destroy tours is not true. The PGA Tour is trying to destroy us, it’s as simple as that.

"But the PGA Tour has not sat down and had a conversation with myself or any of my investors."

In January 2023, Monahan refused to answer this question about Norman.

Despite all the Saudi billions that have entered the 48-man LIV Golf League, the PGA Tour has responded this year with a series of Elevated Events featuring no cuts and inflated prize purses in a bid to keep their best players on side.

After seeing the changes, Norman believes the PGA Tour has "copied their homework".

Will the PGA Tour and LIV Golf eventually coexist? Does the PGA Tour even need LIV Golf? Share your thoughts over on the GolfMagic social media channels.
