Golf fans are speculating wildly as the Associated Press reveals an important development: Tiger Woods, the 15-time major winner, is the only player scheduled to have direct talks with PIF executives.
Doug Ferguson of AP reveals that Woods has been assigned to a “transaction subcommittee,” putting him in a position to hold in-person discussions with LIV Golf’s supporters in the upcoming weeks.
An exciting new chapter in the history of the sport is being written with this exclusive engagement, which has fans all around the world buzzing with excitement.
Among the prominent members of this dynamic subcommittee are former Tour player Joe Ogilvie acting as a liaison, board chairman Joe Gorder, PGA Tour legend Jay Monahan, and John W. Henry of Fenway Sports Group.
This esteemed panel will be tasked with important discussions and will report back to the board in detail. Among them is the renowned Tiger Woods, who is 48 years old and joined the group in August of last year as player director, contributing his unmatched experience.
“Returning to that, I would say that I was astonished by what transpired so suddenly and without any input or information being provided; it was just thrown out there, and I imagine that many of the participants were also surprised.” Woods quoted to golfmagic.com
Tiger Woods and LIV Golf
Tiger Woods recently met with Yasir Al-Rumayyan, governor of the Public Investment Fund (PIF) and strategic architect of LIV Golf Investments, in the beautiful Bahamas. After playing a few rounds of golf at Albany, their meeting was described as a friendly and productive get-together.
After the most recent bombshell from the Associated Press, a chorus of golf fans appears to pronounce Woods the new captain of the ship, indicating a change in power dynamics in the professional golf world.
The news that Tiger Woods would be the only player having face-to-face talks with the Saudis during a hectic day for men’s professional golf added still another level of complication to an already volatile situation.
Although friendly at first, reports indicate that Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods’ friendship has soured over the last six months, primarily because of McIlroy’s desire to mediate a deal with the Public Investment Fund (PIF) in an attempt to heal tensions within the sport.
