Although away from the sport for a long time, Tiger Woods remains in the spotlight for some reason. This time, it is because of his viewpoint on the $3 billion merger. When initial news of the PGA Tour, the DP World Tour, and the LIV Golf merger came earlier in June, Woods was silent as a grave. And even though he had not opened up about partnerships, his name was used a lot with every revelation that came forth. However, the 15-time major winner has now finally made his move after the merger announcement!

The 82-time PGA Tour victor just recently agreed to become the sixth Player Director on the Policy Board, thus making his stance on the merger clear. Like many other golf stars, Woods’ acceptance has conveyed a green signal for the PGA Tour-LIV Golf amalgamation. While the Tour stars may be pleased with the golf legend’s representation, on the other end at LIV, Phil Mickelson can’t help but feel comforted. The fans, however, didn’t share Lefty’s sentiments; instead, they were left bewildered!

Tiger Woods’ admission to the Policy Board provides solace to Phil Mickelson

Lefty, who hasn’t been able to deliver in the last two majors and has also been relatively less active on social media, was again witnessed divulging his stance. This time, the subject of his tweet was Tiger Woods, his new responsibility, and the Policy Board.

While mentioning these three, the six-time major winner said, “This is great to see. Players having equal representation on the board, Tiger getting more involved, and accountability across the board.” According to the golfer, it screams awesome news for the golf world. His thoughts appeared to be aligned with those of the other PGA Tour stars as well, including Woods.
