Tiger Woods meets with top PGA players about threat of LIV Golf

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — The PGA Tour is in Delaware for the first time and the buzz still surrounded Tiger Woods, even if he didn’t have clubs and might not be seen.

Woods was scheduled to come to Wilmington Country Club on Tuesday for a private meeting of top players to discuss the threat of Saudi-funded LIV Golf, according to two people aware of the plans at the BMW Championship.

They spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the privacy of the meeting. One person invited to the meeting said it was to get on the same page against LIV Golf, along with taking more ownership in the direction of the PGA Tour.

The meeting led to a previously scheduled Players Advisory Council meeting being moved up Tuesday afternoon to leave time for the private meeting.

“There is a player meeting, but that’s all I can tell you about that,” Jon Rahm said.

It was not clear if PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan would be involved. He met with the players informally last week following a hearing in which a federal judge denied a request by three LIV Golf players seeking to play in the PGA Tour postseason.
