LIV Golf chief Greg Norman is hailing the peace deal with the US PGA as a "great day in global golf" but fellow Australian Geoff Ogilvy isn't so sure.
Norman wasn't told of the merger between LIV's Saudi Arabian owners and the US tour until moments before it was announced publicly.
But the Australian has posted on social media platforms: "A great day in global golf for players and fans alike. The journey continues!".
Ogilvy attended a meeting between his fellow US PGA players and their tour's chief Jay Monahan at the Canadian Open in Toronto.
"He didn't really talk specifics," Ogilvy told NBC Sports.
"It was a tough meeting for both sides ... because nobody knows what it's really going to look like in the end.
"One of the feelings here is the players just want the (US PGA) loyal players rewarded.
"I don't know if it's all going to be happy families."
Norman was "absolutely" bullish about the future for LIV, South Australia's Premier Peter Malinauskas said.
Malinauskas, who brought an inaugural LIV Golf tournament to Adelaide in April, was in contact with Norman soon after the deal was announced.
"I've had text messages with Greg this morning," the premier told Adelaide radio station 5AA.
"And I have been on the phone to (the LIV) executive.
"From LIV's perspective it means a laying down of arms from the US PGA towards LIV.
"And all of that hostility that was being projected towards LIV now presumably evaporates."
LIV Golf has a contract with South Australia to host a tournament in Adelaide for the next three years.
"As far as Adelaide is concerned, we hope that it's all upside," Malinauskas said.
"What it will mean is there's a greater degree of cross-pollination of players between the US PGA tour and the LIV Golf tour, which means better events presumably.
"And we've seen on the record this morning a commitment that LIV Golf will continue.
"For as long as that is the case, they have a contractual obligation to continue to host at least another three events (in Adelaide) ... which means upside as far as we're concerned."
British Open winner Cameron Smith captains an all-Australian team on the LIV circuit featuring himself, Marc Leishman, Matt Jones and Jed Morgan.
The quartet are all yet to comment publicly on the deal, which is expected to pave the way for them to return to play on the US PGA tour.
The four Australians, and other golfers on the LIV tour including Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia and Brooks Koepka were effectively banned by the US PGA from playing on the American circuit.
PGA of Australia chief executive officer Gavin Kirkman said his organisation was in discussions with the world golf hierarchy about the implications of the deal.
"These discussions are ongoing as we continue to ensure any new arrangements deliver positive benefits to our tour," he said in a statement.
