Tiger Woods is looking to play his part in peace talks between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf with the icon claiming their recent meeting led to productive discussions
Tiger Woods has claimed last month’s peace talks with PIF boss Yassir Al-Rumayyan were “positive” for the future of golf. The 15-time Major winner said: “We're headed in the right direction”.
That saw Woods join other members of the PGA Tour Policy Board - with Jordan Spieth, Adam Scott, Patrick Cantlay, Peter Malnati and Webb Simpson - met Newcastle chairman Al-Rumayyan in the Bahamas. Obstacles to any deal are the role of the LIV Golf team format in any new golf calendar - and how to compensate PGA Tour loyalists who declined to sign for the Saudi-backed breakaway league.
“I disagree with it,” he said. “I think that what they've done is they've turned their back on what has allowed them to get to this position. The world No.959 shot a closing 77 in his 100th round at the Masters to finish on 16-over par and bottom of the players who played the weekend.
