LIV Golf representatives have been invited to the Masters for the first time, highlighting the thawing of tensions in the game’s great split.

LIV chief executive Greg Norman is not expected to appear and it remains up in the air whether Yasir Al-Rumayyan – the LIV chairman and governor of the £600 billion Saudi Public Investment Fund which bankrolls the breakaway league – will attend.

However, it is understood that at least one high-ranking LIV official will be under the famous oak tree in front of the clubhouse, where the sport’s power-brokers assemble.
