The PGA Tour’s decision to merge with its arch-rivals in a monumental $3 billion agreement has left many displeased. Among them is the face of the PGA Tour itself, golf legend, Tiger Woods.

Alongside a certain Rory McIlroy, the duo used their platforms to wage a war of words against the LIV Golf Series. But after months of blasting the breakaway league, the PGA Tour backstabbed its loyalists with a hurried coalescence. Woods would certainly be unhappy with the settlement, but could the animosity extend to his son and promising talent, Charlie Woods?

However, while Woods commanded his men in the long battle, the PGA Tour made the unanticipated decision to merge with the LIV Golf Series. For players who have been coaxed against the Saudi influence, the agreement came across as an abrupt blow.

Woods would undoubtedly be miserable with the overall situation. The fifteen-time major championship winner was allegedly offered a contract worth $800 Million, a figure which was admitted by LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman himself.

But having rejected any approaches from the cash-rich league, Woods could soon find himself playing alongside golfers who gleefully took the bait. A feeling of resentment is imminent, but it could force the legendary golfer to chalk out another plan for his son’s promising career.

Undoubtedly, the golf community will hold its breath when Charlie turns pro. While a place on the PGA Tour looked straightforward so far, the organization’s treason towards Woods and the others could see the golf legend seeking pastures elsewhere.
