15-time Major Champion Tiger Woods is poised to help decide whether or not LIV golfers play in PGA Tour events in the future. Earlier this year, the American golfer was named the Player Director of the PGA Tour Policy Board to provide a more “player-driven” framework. Jordan Spieth, Charley Hoffman, Webb Simpson, Patrick Cantlay, and Peter Malnati joined him.

The directors have been working to implement changes on the Tour and their deal with LIV Golf. The last day to complete the PGA-LIV Golf merger is rapidly approaching. Their final meeting will reportedly take place on New Year’s Eve.

According to the Mirror, Woods will play a key role in making decisions about the LIV golfers. He could decide if the players on the Saudi circuit will compete on the American Tour or not.

Woods spoke candidly about the LIV Golf and PGA Tour partnership earlier in November. He mentioned that the player directors have been trying to ensure a better process as the final meeting date draws near.

Woods said (per Mirror.co.uk):

“December 31 is coming up quickly. There is a timetable there that we would like to implement some of these changes that haven’t taken place. All the parties are talking and aggressively trying to get a deal done. We’re trying to make sure the process is better. Implementation of governance.”

He added that player directors have been concentrating on completing the agreement, in the right way, by December 31.

Tiger Woods‘s life seemed absolutely picture-perfect until it wasn’t. In 2010, the 82-time PGA winner faced one of the most challenging periods of his life. Woods’s separation from his then-wife became one of the most publicized matters of the year.

Now that a decade has passed since the divorce, Woods’s relationship with Elin Nordgeren has seemed to mend up and turned out into something better than before, as Woods made an earnest confession about their relationship.

Even after the tumultuous breakup, Woods and Nordegren have consistently prioritized their children’s needs. While the golfer and the model may have been unsuccessful in the marriage department, the two have since come together and successfully co-parented their two children.

Six years after the separation, Woods unveiled his relationship with ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, to the Times on his 40th birthday eve. When asked about what would he have done differently in 2009 when the controversies engulfed him, he expressed his desire to be more honest with his ex-wife.

Woods then went on to continue to describe his relationship after the turn of events and said, “Having the relationship that I have now with her is fantastic. She’s one of my best friends. We’re able to pick up the phone, and we talk to each other all the time.”

Furthermore, Woods emphasized that the most important factor in their lives is their children; Sam Woods and Charlie Woods. He elaborated, “We both know that the most important things in our lives are our kids. I wish I would have known that back then.” Nonetheless, the years have passed, and both have become best of friends and there came a time when their friendship took center stage.

The Hall of Famer, Woods, and his Charlie were playing the PNC Championship for the third time in 2022. It was also the time when Nordegren had her third child with her husband, NFL player Jordan Cameron. Journalist Jason Sobel tweeted about Woods and Woods Jr. congratulating Nordegren for the same.

He wrote that Woods and Charlie Woods had a camera on the first tee, and after the first shots, they turned to the cameras and congratulated Nordegren for her newborn baby. From exes to best friends, Woods and Nordegren’s story has seen many peaks and valleys throughout their relationship. Now they play their part in becoming better parents and providing a better future for Charlie and Sam Woods.
