This development raises hopes for a settlement to the “civil war” that golf is still facing. Though Woods and Jordan Spieth both suggest that a contract of this kind may be unnecessary at this point, the new agreement does enable for possible “co-investment” from the PIF, which finances the rebellious LIV Golf league.
One of six player-directors on the PGA Tour, Woods cast a unanimous vote in favor of the agreement with SSG, a group of US-based investors that includes John Henry, the owner of the Boston Red Sox and Liverpool.
“The consortium that they have at SSG, the partners that have come together to be a part of this group is quite remarkable to be honest with you in the sports industry,” the 15-time major winner stated.
“They are amazing leaders. I believe this inspires excellent leadership at a time when we will need it going forward.
