I’m dubious that they will sell soon. Read an article in the Baltimore Banner app, that spelled out the reasons why they won’t sell now.
It all makes sense, unfortunately. Especially the tax ramifications of the value gain of the franchise.
Gotta wait for old man Peter to pass along, and it will save them hundreds of millions of dollars in capital gain costs

Tony Finau on LIV Golf report: “I have nothing to say right now" — Golf Digest
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK - MAY 16: Tony Finau of the United States speaks to the media during a press conference prior to the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club on May 16, 2023 in Rochester, New York. Jon Rahm’s exodus to LIV Golf has sparked rumors regarding who might follow the reigning...

If you are getting anywhere in the realm of what Rahm got and don’t love playing on the PGA Tour then go get your money.
But I don’t think there is a tipping point where people suddenly start caring about LIV, watch it on TV, and attend their events in meaningful numbers. They had more than enough big names last season and nobody gave a shit.
The PGA Tour cannot compete financially with the PIF. LIV doesn’t need anyone to watch on TV or attend their events. Their business model has nothing to do with making money or even trying to come remotely close to breaking even. Everyone has a price and the Saudis will find it over time.

Lynch: Jon Rahm’s greed isn’t the PGA Tour’s biggest problem. It’s the guys who want Saudi-sized money for staying — Golfweek

Oh there’s a tipping point….somewhere after the PGA Tour and LIV come to an agreement. My prediction, more big names are on the move, but eventually you’ll see guys playing the other side (both ways) for some events, the OWGR thing will get worked out even if it means LIV changes their format.

Key Virginia lawmakers back arena deal for NBA's Wizards, NHL's Capitals
The proposal would move the teams - owned by Ted Leonsis - from Washington to a new arena at Alexandria's Potomac Yard.

The initial ask by ted was a bigger project this:“The facility in Virginia would be geared toward the two professional teams, not a multitude of events, the person said.” So no concerts?Key Virginia lawmakers back arena deal for NBA's Wizards, NHL's Capitals

Then they scaled it down to:
Why would Ohtani do that? That’s a lot of money to “assume” you’ll get paid down the line. I wouldn’t do that, ever.

unless the world ends….it’s a pretty safe bet.
I like it….PGA Tour needs a little leverage to negotiate with….
Meh. Add in the time value of money, and it’s a stupid decision, IMO.
