Tiger Woods reportedly plans to rally PGA Tour player support against LIV Golf

Estimated read time 2 min read


It seems as if Tiger Woods has decided to take on a role as top commander in the PGA Tour’s war against rival league LIV Golf.

When LIV Golf was created it sent shock waves through the professional golf industry. For decades, the legendary PGA went unchallenged in the sport. However, that all changed this year when the new league funded by Saudi Arabian government started to prepare for its inaugural season by stealing away some of the PGA’s biggest and most relevant names with guaranteed paydays and massive signing bonuses.

For Woods, leaving the PGA for LIV has been confusing and seen as turning their back on the tour that got them to where they are now.

“I disagree with it,” Woods said in July at the Open Championship [h/t ESPN]. “I think that what they’ve done is they’ve turned their back on what has allowed them to get to this position. … Some of these players may not ever get a chance to play in major championships. That is a possibility.

“We don’t know that for sure yet. It’s up to all the major championship bodies to make that determination. But that is a possibility, that some players will never, ever get a chance to play in a major championship, never get a chance to experience this right here, walk down the fairways at Augusta National. That, to me, I just don’t understand it.”
