If a sovereign wealth fund offered tennis a billion dollars for a 'PIF Tour,' tennis would accept it in a heartbeat
If some guy who controls some country's money says, oh, I want to give the NBA players a billion dollars... the PJ Tour set a hell of a precedent. A sport like tennis is a good, I think, example. Tennis is really great for the top 20 players, but there's not nearly as many players making a good living in tennis as there is in golf. If the Saudis came to tennis and said, here's a bunch of this money, let's make it the PIF tour, they would say yes in a heartbeat.
Since this take, the ATP and WTA have held major events in Saudi Arabia and the PIF has signed a 'strategic partnership' with the ATP, confirming the trend.
