Breakingnews:Why Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods relationships has…


Why Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods’ relationship “has Sourced over recent months”


To facilitate conversations with LIV Golf’s supporters, Rory McIlroy has teamed up with Adam Scott, Tiger Woods, and a subcommittee on the PGA Tour. It follows discussions about a possible merger that began about a year ago between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which supports LIV.

The proposed deal would likely heal the rift within the world of golf caused by LIV’s launch two years ago, which saw numerous top players defect from the PGA Tour.

All parties concerned are still waiting for an agreement, though. Since McIlroy left the PGA Tour policy board in November of last year, he was not initially anticipated to take part in these talks.

Long-running rumors have suggested that McIlroy will rejoin the policy board, which is also made up of Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, and other well-known players like Woods. But as McIlroy himself put it, this ended up being “complex” and “messy.”

According to Golf Digest, there is reportedly tension on the relationship between McIlroy and Woods due to their different perspectives on the future of golf, which further complicates the issue. According to reports, Woods was opposed to McIlroy returning to the PGA Tour’s policy board.

McIlroy is expected to be heavily involved in the PGA Tour’s merger talks with the PIF despite the rumored conflict, saying during the Wells Fargo Championship, “I’m not on the board, but I’m in some way involved in that transaction committee.”

“Although I don’t have a vote, I don’t think I have a significant influence on future events, but I still think I can contribute to that committee. And I suppose that was a concession for not being given a board position.”

Prior to the current competition at Quail Hollow, when he opened with a four-under-par score, McIlroy disclosed that there was a “participation on the (policy) board who were maybe uneasy with my  returning for an unknown purpose.”

Before the Wells Fargo Championship got underway, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan stated that McIlroy will have a “significant effect” on the organization’s future.He was questioned over McIlroy’s exclusion from consideration to re-join the board. Monahan said, “Today’s news is in no way a criticism on Rory’s essential effect.”

“A tour player may become a board member by merely adhering to our governance process.”

He added: “Webb (Simpson, who McIlroy was expected to succeed) continuing on the policy board and the PGA Tour Enterprises board until the conclusion of his tenure gives the consistency required at this critical moment.

“We are making progress in our negotiations with the PIF, and we are working as a team – the player directors, boards, and tour management – to stay open to all paths that develop the tour in the best interests of our players, partners, and, most importantly, our fans.” “Today’s news is in no way a reflection on Rory’s significant influence,” Monahan explained.
