Saudi Arabia15 golfers have tentatively joined a $300mn LIV Golf successor.
Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund stopped at $5.5bn, and LIV filed for bankruptcy in September.
BC Partners wants 30 to 40 players, and its term sheet requires each to settle LIV claims with the fund.
Jon Rahm and 3 others say they will not join, and the DP World Tour bars dual membership.
The fund will seek to wind down LIV if no deal closes by 30 October.
