⛳️ Tiger Woods is keeping us guessing! The golf legend couldn't give us a clear timeline on his return to the greens or the PGA Tour's talks with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf. 🧐
At the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas—a tournament he hosts but won't play in—Tiger opened up about where things stand. \"I'm not tournament sharp yet, no. I'm still not there,\" he shared. \"These are 20 of the best players in the world and I'm not sharp enough to compete against them at this level. So when I'm ready to compete and play at this level, then I will.\" 🏌️♂️
Tiger's been busy off the course, though! He's on the PGA Tour board and is deeply involved in business matters, including potential deals with the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia. There's talk of PIF becoming a minority investor in PGA Tour Enterprises, but Tiger says it's all \"very fluid\" and happening \"daily.\" 🌐
\"I think all of us who have been a part of this process would have thought it would have happened quicker than this,\" Tiger admitted. \"But in the end, we're going to get a product that's better for all the fans and all the players that are involved and get some peace that the game desperately needs.\" 🤝
Meanwhile, rumors are swirling that the European Tour might be making its own moves with PIF, possibly leading to cross-play between European Tour and LIV Golf players. 🎤
As for Tiger's own game? He's taking it day by day. He didn't spill any details about whether he'll team up with his son Charlie at the upcoming PNC Championship. Fingers crossed! 🤞
Looking back, Tiger sees 2024 as a bit of a lost year, mainly due to his back issues. But knowing Tiger, a comeback could be just around the corner! 🔥
Stay tuned, golf fans. The Tiger might just roar again! 🐯
