Tiger Woods, the 15-time major winner, has given his verdict on the future of golf after the PGA Tour and LIV Golf's backers came a step closer to a merger agreement

Woods has had plenty of success on the South Course at Torrey Pines, including a memorable win over Rocco Mediate at the 2008 U.S. Open. He also has conquered the South Course numerous other times, winning the Farmers Insurance Open on seven occasions. He most recently did so in 2013, the last time he won the PGA Tour’s Player of the Year Award.

Tiger Woods expects the fractured landscape of golf to “heal quickly” when the PGA Tour and the Saudi backers of rival LIV Golf reach an agreement that appears to be imminent. Woods is the only player on the PGA Tour board without term limits and has been active in negotiations between PGA Tour Enterprises and the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia.
