In a world where there is a consecutive battle of becoming the best Golf Tour ever, Tiger Woods has announced the launch of his Golf League. The golfer made the massive announcement alongside his good friend and fellow PGA Tour star, Rory McIlroy. Fans on Twitter believe the 15-time Major champion pulled off a masterstroke with his forthcoming league.
The initial rumors of a new Tour within the PGA Tour began when Tiger Woods along with 20 other players held a meeting in Wilmington. Being in the Tour for 26 years, Woods was the main man who influenced most of the decisions.

LIV Golf has offered nearly all of the PGA Tour stars an offer to join the league. It is quite apparent that they must have offered the 15-time Major Champion a hefty contract.

Fan react to Tiger’s TGL announcement
Fans had a lot to say about Woods’ announcement. Some even called it next-level chess while others termed it as a great initiative for competitive golf.
Let’s take a look at how the golf world reacted:
Tiger just used LIV to leverage a way to play PGA-sanctioned golf without having to walk. That is some old-man next-level chess, and I am here for it. What an incredible flex. https://t.co/cUv1AKw9jZ

Great call. Prime time night golf will sell but needs to be competitive, quality, and the best players play.

I love the idea of team golf.
Give me Ryder Cup-style matches every week.

i agree, especially about letting the best players in the world play. It's the reason why ppl watch the Super Bowl, World Series, NBA finals etc.
