Golf icon Tiger Woods made headlines this week at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, where he’s serving as tournament host—not swinging clubs. Recovering from his sixth back surgery, Woods admitted he’s not ready to compete against the sport’s top players yet. 🏥 'I’m still not there,' he said, sparking questions about his return to the green.
Behind the scenes, Woods is knee-deep in PGA Tour drama. As a key board member, he’s navigating high-stakes negotiations with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), which backs rival league LIV Golf. The PGA Tour has already secured a $1.5 billion investment from Strategic Sports Group, but a potential Saudi deal looms. 💸
'Things are very fluid,' Woods shared, hinting at daily progress but no clear deadline. With rumors swirling about a possible European tour-LIV collaboration, Woods stressed the goal is a 'better product for fans' and peace for the sport. 🌍
As for 2024? Woods called it a 'lost year' thanks to his back struggles. Will he team up with son Charlie at December’s PNC Championship? Fans are crossing their fingers. 🤞
