Tiger Woods remained loyal to the PGA Tour by declining the LIV Golf’s offer. Moreover, the star has been acting as a leader to make sure the existing PGA Tour golfers get the proper guidance. Around the 2nd round of the FedEx Playoffs, 22 PGA Tour players including Tiger Woods held a meeting to discuss and set 2 appeals to the Tour commissioner, Jay Monohan.

The meeting was held to discuss the further actions that can be taken by the PGA Tour against the LIV Golf stars. The 15-time Major Champion will not be a part of the BMW Championship in Delaware. However, he made sure to attend the meeting, flying all the way from his Florida home.

Tiger Woods leads the meeting

In the meeting, two appeals were set by the golfers to give to the PGA Tour commissioner, Jay Monahan. Firstly, to play against each other more often. And the second was to not compete against the LIV Golf stars in any PGA Tour events apart from the Majors.

Woods, who has been part of the PGA Tour for nearly 25 years, was reportedly very much vocal in the meeting. He allegedly declined an offer of $700 million from Saudi funded Tour. So it is quite apparent that the 46-year-old does share a great bond with his Tour.

Tiger has managed to win 82 PGA Tour wins including his 15 Major titles. This single-handedly depicts his talent, dedication, and contribution to the Tour as well as the sport of golf. One of the PGA Tour pros from the meeting reportedly said, “Look at all these build-outs, Tiger Woods built this. And he wants to make sure the place he built continues to be the strongest place in the PGA Tour.

Later on, Woods’ good friend and fellow PGA star Rory McIlroy too had some wise words for the Hall of Famer. McIlroy added, “He is the hero that we’ve all looked up to. His voice carries further than anyone else’s in the game of golf.”

The 46-year-old is widely respected among the upcoming stars of the PGA Tour. Moreover, Woods considers most of the golfers as his friends rather than his juniors. This display of leadership and unity is what makes the legacy of Tiger Woods much greater than it already is.
