It was Tuesday ahead of the 2022 Hero World Challenge. The then-47-year-old was addressing a press conference when he was asked about the coexistence of the PGA Tour and LIV Golf.

This ranking blow is unlikely to shock LIV chiefs, as their ongoing feud with the OWGR over ranking points has been a persistent issue. Despite the Saudi-backed circuit seeking…

Saturday Night Live took a hilarious turn on how the PGA Tours business would go down in 2013 after Tiger Woods announced his then-‘indefinite break.’ The 82-time PGA Tour winner has been a needle mover of golf, but that year controversial aspects of his life were unsurfaced, and the 48-year-old also went through another injury.
