The golf world can never get a sigh of relief, can it? After the recent update where Tiger Woods stated that the PGA Tour-PIF negotiations are still ongoing but lacking concrete progress and that any potential deal would still require approval from the US Department of Justice. Woods’ comments provided a nuanced view of the negotiations, highlighting the complexities and uncertainties involved, and now the 82-time PGA Tour winner has said something that has the fans upset to their core.

The latest developments in the PGA Tour’s efforts to revamp its product and provide a better experience for fans, sponsors, and players alike have been met with a sense of optimism. According to Tiger Woods, “The majority of the tour felt the same way, the pack was involved, the subcommittees on the pack were involved. It was unanimous across the board on what we need to do to present a better product and save something better for our fans, for our events, for our sponsors.”

As Woods elaborated, “Free to finding what tour pro is, I’m streamlining that. Yes, playing opportunities have been reduced at certain parts, but also, then again, we also have player’s equity involved as well, which has never happened before. So, the players who are playing, they’re gonna get well compensated going forward, in which, that was never the case.” This newfound emphasis on player equity and compensation is a significant development, one that could have far-reaching implications for the sport as a whole. This update was based on the latest post by GC Golf Today.

Fans are saying all kinds of things to the golfer’s comments but most of them are against it.

Netizens criticize Tiger Woods on his recent comment

Fans are rarely seen throwing hate on the top players in golf but it seems like no one is immune to the wrath of golf enthusiasts. “When I read “Tiger said….” I believe it’s more like “Tiger’s PR team told him to say…”, said one fan. Well, it is widely known that Tiger Woods’ PR team is as good as they come, expertly navigating the complexities of his public image. Earlier this year, Woods was seen dodging a question, and his response was telling in its brevity, leaving many wondering what he was really thinking. However, in a recent appearance at the PGA Championship, Woods showed a more forthcoming side, sharing thoughtful observations on the games of Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, highlighting their unique techniques and impressive ball-striking abilities.

Another fan was so upset that they didn’t hold back one bit and fiercely wrote, “Professional golf is eating itself alive….” while the other said, “He’s obviously the reason Monahan is still running the show too. Disappointing.’ Woods, a key figure in the PGA Tour’s negotiations with LIV Golf’s financial backer, provided a candid update on the status of the talks, acknowledging that the negotiations have taken longer than expected. Woods’ comments come as PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, who has secured a $1 billion private equity investment for the tour and oversees governance and transparency measures, continues to work towards a resolution. Despite the delays, Woods expressed confidence that a deal will ultimately be reached, saying “I think something will get done. In what form or shape, I don’t know yet.”

One fan said something that many might agree with, “Tiger is so out of touch with reality that at this point”, while the other said, “Tiger takes care of Tiiger and a few of his buddys”. What do you think about the whole situation? Let us know in the comment section below!
