Tiger Woods, among the negotiators in PGA Tour merger talks with Saudi backers of LIV Golf, says there's been progress, but no deal ...
, which starts on May 16, Woods detailed the state of talks nearly a year after a framework merger deal was announced between Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and the PGA Tour.“Fans are probably as tired as we are of the talk not being about the game of golf and about not being about the players,” Woods said.“We’ve made some progress, yes, for sure, but there’s a long way to go still.”
“We’re working on negotiations with PIF. It’s ongoing. It’s fluid. It changes day-to-day,” Woods said. Dunne helped create a controversial framework merger agreement unveiled last June 6 between PIF and the PGA Tour, an announcement blindsiding most players and a sudden reversal by PGA commissioner Jay Monahan, who had pushed them to reject LIV only to seemingly wave a surrender flag less than three weeks after LIV’s Brooks Koepka won the 2023 PGA Championship.
Dunne touched upon divisions among what punishment PGA players might want for LIV players seeking a return, saying: “It’s crucial for the board to avoid letting yesterday’s differences interfere with today’s decisions.”“We have arguments and we have disagreements, but we want to do what’s best for everyone in golf and the tour,” Woods said.That includes differences between Woods and Rory McIlroy, who is also on the negotiating subcommittee.
