Joined to protect his legacy
Tiger needs to hold a vote of no confidence in Monahan. Get that clown and Dunne out of there.
We wouldn't exactly call him a player director cause we doubt he'll play again unless it's the Masters !
Monahan's days are clearly numbered. The players need to take back control from him and his chums on the Board to make sure the first goal of the Tour is to meet their needs, not feather the nests of the executive director and the outside board members.
“Earning in dirt“ while tiger was flying Nike private jet before he was 18
Good to see TW participating, mostly post-career at this point I think. I do think it'll be nice to see if TW can be healthy enough to play some Champions Tour events when the time comes. Golf-cart rules may make that possible. BUT let us be honest, Monahan is a TRAITOR to the core. The blood money from the Saudi's is a disgusting corruption of the game. The advisory board is just the Saudi's throwing a bone to the dogs, nothing more. Personally, I enjoy the USGA amateur events now days, much more than all the contract player BULLXHIT! Professional golf is done, it'll never hold a candlestick to amateur golf ever again in my book.
It always seemed strange that Tiger remained so quiet after the PIF/PGA Tour framework was announced, and now we understand why. Tiger may only have one vote on the policy board, but his influence will be profound. I suspect producing and delivery a signed framework will become materially harder to sign-off a deal as the most powerful person in golf will ensure anything less than a perfect deal for the PGA Tour perspective will not be recommended to the players. PIF may not see this announcement in such positive terms as they may not to prepared to accommodate PGA Tours terms.
I still think any agreement will face stiff regulatory scrutiny around the world.
Bye Bye Jay Monohan lol – Tiger retires and is new commissioner! GOAT
as a LPT AND LPGA CLASS 1A, HOPE YOUR REHAB IS ON POINT, NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN WALKING. WITHOUT PAIN……. JAY IS STILL ON THE BUBBLE…. BY EVERYONE……
Tiger and AI working around the clock to redefine merger and impressions of Saudi PIF. Artificial Intelligence doing most of the work, Tiger will take most of the credit. Also working on fixing JT's game during breaks.
str8 sellout!!!!!!!
I can't believe Tiger said he has confidence in Monahan. Hopefully he's just taking the high road for now.
…me thinks, Tiger is really looking to make sure his business interests, which are attached to the PGA Tour, stay alive…😏
Charley Hoffman looking good with that haircut. Ask Cameron Smith to do the same.
Tiger is getting involved, I like it.
I don’t agree with Lynch hardly ever but cannot disagree that Monahan is having a full blown garage sale of anything from his family heirlooms to his okole if need be to keep his role, which is increasingly becoming less
And less powerful, but it’s still a role dealing with the biggest check writer in the whole wide world.
So he still has that going for him.
Tiger doing this seems great at first glance. It’s definitely going to be said often he is taking care of his interests.
My bigger concern is tiger and Monahan have been extremely tied at the hip as Monahan has done whatever he can to keep fortunes coming at tiger for a reason; such as the pip
Having hardly no actual playing requirements clearly for tiger to get his money.
This tomorrow sports venture is definitely a big wrinkle in all of this.
I mean it’s good tiger is on the board but tiger and Rory have a lot of special interests worked out with the current pga tour brass, especially Monahan. So it’s possible tiger will actually help Monahan more than he will be against him.
Tiger is basically like the swing vote on survivor now. He can be with the players. Or he can be a ruthless business man.
This really will be a critical time in tigers legacy. Time certainly will tell whom he is doing this for.
If he is doing it for the players then imo he will tell everyone no punishments. No rewards. Let’s form a world tour with LIv. Let’s make the pga tours biggest events full field and attended by everyone of the top players. And let’s make everyone choose some smaller events to play. He would also create a minimum requirement of starts to get any popularity money, but really he would get rid of popularity money from the pga tour because he is all about earning it on the course.
Anything other than that and he is just another arm for Monahan to make a mess with.
And also possibly make a hypocrite of himself. I hope not. I love Tiger and hope he not only comes back and passes Jacks 18, but also shows he can be a true selfless steward of the game.
Cannot wait to find out.
I think it's debatable whether Tiger still has any real influence and how will he deal with the 1 billion dollars he allegedly turned down?
Is that supposed to make things better? Who gives a shit, Tiger just a pill head now.
What a mess. Lifelong follower of professional golf and it's just as bad as politics. I give up.
