MONTREAL — European tour CEO Guy Kinnings was at a New York meeting involving the PGA Tour and Saudi backers of LIV Golf. He says he can see movement in the right direction. Kinnings also says an investment deal involves a lot of details so there's a long way to go. Rory McIlroy also is expressing optimism about the progress. Meanwhile, Lydia Ko doesn't sound as though she's about to retire any time soon. Her dream summer included an Olympic gold medal and a third major. Ko says if she can do that, then maybe the LPGA career Grand Slam is possible.
