Here’s a recent AP golf story:

The PGA Tour reported progress without details from a face-to-face meeting between its negotiating committee and the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia as it tries to work toward a deal.

“We want to get this right, and we are approaching discussions with careful consideration for our players, our fans, our partners and the game’s future,” the tour said in a statement released Saturday morning.

The meeting in New York on Friday evening involved the “transaction committee” of PGA Tour Enterprises and Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the governor of the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund that pays for rival LIV Golf.

Rory McIlroy is on the committee and said he was encouraged by the progress. He referred to the three-hour meeting as “very productive, very constructive, very collaborative.”

“Definitely things are heading in the right direction,” McIlroy said after the third round of the Memorial. He participated on a video call. “A lot of progress was made. I can’t really say much more than that, but it was really positive.”

PGA Tour Enterprises is the commercial group that came out of the framework agreement announced a year ago among the PGA Tour, PIF and the European tour.

PGA Tour Enterprises brought on Strategic Sports Group, which invested an initial $1.5 billion earlier this year. Negotiations are ongoing to bring in PIF as a minority investor, and there has been more activity than previously believed.

McIlroy, who joined Tiger Woods and Adam Scott on the transaction committee, said it has been meeting with PIF representatives every Monday, Wednesday and Friday over the last couple of weeks. The tour referred to negotiations as “accelerated” in recent months.

Friday’s meeting was the first in-person discussion since players and board members met with Al-Rumayyan in the Bahamas the day after The Players Championship in March.

The tour said the committee and PIF have been meeting “multiple times weekly to work through potential deal terms and come to a shared vision on the future of professional golf.” It said only that “more progress was made” in New York.

“We remain committed to these negotiations, which require working through complex considerations to best position golf for global growth,” the tour said.

McIlroy said those multiple meetings are more about financials, such as the investment possibilities of PIF and SSG.

“But I think last night was more talking about the future of the game and the vision, and that was where I thought there was a lot of progress that was made,” he said.

Woods and Scott are on the full PGA Tour Enterprises board, along with player directors Jordan Spieth, Webb Simpson, Patrick Cantlay and Peter Malnati.

McIlroy resigned from the PGA Tour board last November, and there was an unsuccessful attempt by Simpson to have McIlroy replace him. McIlroy, the strongest voice who has gone from heavy criticism of LIV to being more willing to compromise, is part of the transaction committee and ultimately does not have a vote.

But he has relationships with both sides of the table. McIlroy had said he would be more in listen mode when the business leaders — Al-Rumayyan and his team at PIF, a PGA Tour Enterprises committee that includes four SSG investors — sorted through details.

“We’re there to maybe give a perspective from player’s point of view,” McIlroy had said Thursday. “But, I mean, this is a negotiation about an investment into PGA Tour Enterprises. This is ‘big boy’ stuff, and I’ll certainly be doing more listening than I will be talking.”

He said Saturday he did weigh in on occasion.

“The mute button was turned off a couple of times to chime in,” he said.

Unique Scoring at the Meijer LPGA Classic Leads to Success in Michigan

Alison lee claims first-round lead at meijer lpga classic.

• Tournament News
• meijer-lpga-classic

The scorecard at Blythefield Country Club tells a very specific story. If you plan to win the Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give , then you better score. The average winner’s total over the past five years is 21-under par. With five par-5s across 18 holes, it is no wonder the world’s best women show out and go low each year in Belmont, Michigan. An interesting preview for the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, 12 of the top 25 women in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings are ready to compete.

The field of 144 will be cut to the top 65 and ties after 36 holes. Three million dollars await the weekend warriors and $450,000 for first place. Seven of the nine different winners are major champions, and the defending champion is Solheim Cup star Leona Maguire. Something about this layout brings out incredible leaderboards, but diving into the details of the last few years produces trends that’ll likely show again this time around.

Nelly Korda highlights an incredible field this week, after last appearing at the U.S. Women’s Open in Lancaster. Three years ago, Korda captured our attention by winning the Meijer LPGA Classic and KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in back-to-back weeks. How did she and others conquer the field in Michigan? The secret could start with the scorecard. Blythefield Country Club has unique routing; there are five par-3s, five par-5s, and eight par-4s.

At an average of 508 yards in length, the par 5s are gettable. Past winners have destroyed the fives on their way to the winner’s circle. The best par 5 players ready to compete in this field near the top of the odds board are: Korda, Alison Lee, Atthaya Thitikul, and Georgia Hall. With five of these per round, you get 20 super scoring chances over 72 holes.

On the other end of the scoring spectrum, the field has their hands full on the par 3s. The par 3s at Blythefield are tough. Four play uphill, while the 13th hole measures 234 yards. Minjee Lee leads the LPGA Tour in par-3 scoring and is closely followed in the field by Xiyu Lin and Lilia Vu, with Vu back in action this week since withdrawing from The Chevron Championship. It could be an unbelievable edge when you consider the last two top-10 finishers at the Meijer earned a 2.90 scoring average on the 3s.

The average green size at Blythfield is 4,500 sq/ft. The fourth smallest greens on tour, BCC is also the seventh-longest course. Approach play to these small targets is the last key for success. Minjee Lee is again the leader on Tour for iron play. Narin An, Ariya Jutanugarn, and Carlota Ciganda are next for those in the field. Ciganda is also top 10 in the field for par-5 scoring. Coming off a top 20 at the U.S. Women’s Open, her last two starts at the Meijer LPGA Classic were an eighth- and fifth-place finish.

When it comes to this event, ball strikers come out the most rewarded. That keeps the weekend very exciting. While the men get punished down at Pinehurst, stay tuned to Golf Channel and CBS this week for the LPGA Tour’s No. 1 player in Michigan. She and an elite field are prepping for not just their next major, but to also take advantage of some mid-season momentum.
