Fans have expressed their confusion and questions over Tiger Woods’ glaring absence from the discussion surrounding the historic merger on social media platforms and golf forums. The PGA Tour veteran, who has an indisputable influence on the sport, hasn’t made a single public statement or posted anything on social media about this important development, leaving his followers eager for his thoughts.

Kyle Porter, a well-known golf writer, recently used Twitter to talk about how surprising Woods’ silence was. His tweet, which said, “It’s pretty crazy that the most consequential golfer of the last 40 years hasn’t said a word about one of the most monumental moments in the history of the professional game,” struck a chord with fans who feel the same way.

One fan, David Stabenaw, expressed his disappointment, stating, “When Tiger speaks. People listen. He can’t avoid the topic forever.”

Another fan, Jason M. echoed the sentiment, saying, “It’s all very strange honestly.”

Yet another fan sarcastically commented on Porter’s tweet, “I was thinking that same thing. I wonder if he’s having “sacrificial lamb” feelings as is Rory?”

One fan took to Twitter to express his strong opinion by stating, “C’mon, Tiger is smart to stay 1000 miles away from this.”

Yet another fan cracked a joke by commenting  on Porter’s tweet, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.”

Woods’ position as the PGA Tour’s spokesperson has enhanced his standing as a leading figure in the golfing world. He has advocated for causes and spoken out on concerns impacting the sport throughout his career. He has been outspoken on a variety of issues, and has been the leader in the PGA Tour’s stance against the LIV golf league. His silence about the merger has sparked rumors and prompted questions.
