THOMPSON. ALL MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP WINNERS IN THAT GROUP. THERE WILL BE A LOT OF RIBBING GOING ON WHEN IT COMES TO GOLF IN THE PAIRING ON THURSDAY. WITH THAT WE WELCOME IN KIRA. YOU HAD A CHANCE TO WALK WITH TIGER. WHAT WERE YOUR OBSERVATIONS

ABOUT HOW HE SEEMED TO BE GETTING ALONG? >> I WALKED THE FRONT NINE WITH TIGER WOODS AND HIS GROUP. JOSH ALLEN WAS IN THE GROUP. I ASKED HOW IT CAME ABOUT? HE SAID HE GOT TO MEET TIGER BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT LAST YEAR

AND A MEMBER OF TIGER’S TEAM REACHED OUT TO HIM A FEW WEEKS AGO AND ASKED IF HE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN JOINING THE GROUP? HE IMMEDIATELY SAID ABSOLUTELY AND GOT HIMSELF A PLANE TICKET. WHEN I WAS WALKING WITH TIGER I ASKED WHY JOSH?

WHAT WAS SO APPEALING TO HAVE THEM JOIN THE GROUP? HE SAID THERE IS JUST SOMETHING ABOUT HAVING AN ATHLETE LIKE THAT AND AARON HICKS TO BE ABLE TO PICK THEIR BRAINS. TIGER IS ALSO A HUGE FOOTBALL FAN. HE REALLY ENJOYED THAT TIME

WITH JOSH ALLEN SPECIFICALLY. WHEN I CAME TO HOW HE WAS PLAYING, HE DIDN’T HAVE ANY DISCERNIBLE LIMP. HE SEEMED TO BE FAIRLY PAIN- FREE. I DIDN’T NOTICE ANY GRIMACES OF PAIN OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. HE DID BEND DOWN TO STRETCH AND

SHOOK OUT HIS LEG. HE WAS PLAYING PRETTY WELL FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS A FUSED ANKLE. I ONLY STAY WITH HIM THROUGH NINE. WE WILL SEE HOW THAT PROGRESSES. HE PLAYED 18 TODAY, NINE YESTERDAY AND HE HAS POTENTIALLY FOUR DAYS OF GOLF

IN FRONT OF HIM. IT IS STILL TO BE SEEN HOW THE INCOME IT HOLDS UP UNDER TOURNAMENT CONDITIONS. I KNOW THAT HE SAID IT’S NOT A CRAZY WALK. YOU REALLY HAVE TO GO DOWN THE HILL TO GO DOWN TO ONE FAIRWAY

AND THEN COME BACK UP. THERE ARE CERTAINLY SOME SPOTS WHERE YOU ARE GOING DOWN MANY VALLEYS TO GET THROUGH TO THE NEXT FAIRWAY. IT IS NO EASY CAKEWALK FOR SURE. SOMETHING NEW THAT WE DID SEE OF COURSE IS THAT NEW CADDY,

THAT IS LANCE BENNETT. HE’S GETTING THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET TO KNOW TIGER. YESTERDAY THEY HAVE A NINE HOLES TOGETHER. IN TERMS OF HOW THAT CAME TO BE THE TIGER TEAM LEANED ON JOE FOR THE RECOMMENDATION. TIGER AND LANCE KNOW EACH OTHER WELL.

LANCE WAS ON THE BACK FOR MATT FOR A LONG TIME. IT SEEMED LIKE THEY WERE OUT THERE HAVING A GREAT TIME. >> THE JOSH ALLEN THING TO ME IS VERY FUNNY. YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE GETTING A PHONE CALL LIKE THAT.

WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT, WHAT DO YOU THINK? YOU ARE ALSO IN THE PRESS CENTER AFTER TIGER PLAYED THE PRO — PROAM. WHAT ARE YOUR TAKEAWAYS? >> IT WAS INTERESTING. HE WAS ASKED THE USUAL QUESTIONS. WHY HAVE YOU NEVER WON?

IS IT FRUSTRATING? HE GAVE INSIGHT INTO WHAT IT WAS LIKE WATCHING JOSH ALLEN PLAY. HE WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH HIS GAME DESPITE THE FACT HE TAKES QUITE A BEATING AND IS STILL ABLE TO HAVE GREAT FLEXIBILITY AND SHOW HIS ATHLETICISM.

HE TALKED ABOUT LANCE BENNETT AND GAVE INSIGHT IN WHY HE WANTS HIM ON THE BACK. THE CONVERSATION VERY MUCH SHIFTED TO THE CURRENT STATE OF THE GAME AND THE TOUR AND TIGERS ROLE. THAT HE IS OF COURSE TAKING ON A MUCH BIGGER ROLE.

HE GAVE THOUGHTS ON SSG. HE ALLUDED TO THE FACT THAT HE REALLY ADMIRES THE LEADERSHIP AND THEIR PROVEN TRACK RECORD. BEING ABLE TO CREATE GREAT PRODUCTS. WHEN IT CAME TO COMMENTS ON THE PIF INVESTMENT SPECIFICALLY, HE WAS VERY GENERAL ABOUT HIS

THOUGHTS ON WHERE THOSE NEGOTIATIONS ARE. SEVERAL TIMES HE SAID THOSE ARE ONGOING. HE WAS ASKED POINT BLANK IF HE HAS EVER SAT DOWN OR MET WITH YASSIR AND SAID NO, I HAVE NOT. WHEN IT COMES TO THE PATHWAY BACK FOR PLAYERS WE HAVE HEARD

JORDAN SPEED AND SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER RECENTLY SAY THINGS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A PATHWAY BACK, BUT CERTAIN PENALTIES. THEY’VE GIVEN INSIGHT INTO THEIR OPINIONS. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT RORY HAS A COMMENTS TO THE EFFECT OF
