Tiger Woods believes the involvement of Donald Trump in the PIF and PGA Tour negotiations will fast track the process and heal golf quickly.
In a continued effort to strike a deal between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and LIV bankrollers, the Public Investment Fund, Jay Monahan, Adam Scott and US President Trump met to try and bring an end for eh talks which have been ongoing since a framework agreement was announced in June 2023.
Speaking on CBS during the final round of the Genesis Invitational, Woods said: “I think we’re in a very positive place right now.
“We had a meeting with the President. Unfortunately, I had some other circumstances that came up, but Jay and Adam, they did great during the meeting and we have another subsequent meeting coming up.
“I think that things are going to heal quickly. We’re going to get this game going in the right direction. It’s been heading in the wrong direction for a number of years.
“The fans want all the top players playing together and we’re going to make that happen.”
Asked by Jim Nantz if that could be this year, or “very soon this year”, Woods replied: “Yes and yes.”
Trump’s involvement appears to be crucial with Rory McIlroy stating in November that Trump’s re-election as President could also pave the way for a peace deal in the civil war which has split men’s professional golf.
