After his Sunday round at the Masters, Woods offered his first comments on the meeting which included Saudi Public Investment Fund governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — In his first comments about the meeting last month he attended with the head of the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, Tiger Woods called it “positive” but didn’t suggest the sides are any closer to a deal.that was attended by other board members, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the governor of the PIF which also backs LIV Golf.
“I don't know if we're closer, but certainly we're headed in the right direction,” Woods said. “That was a very positive meeting, and I think both sides came away from the meeting feeling positive.” Monahan sent a memo to PGA Tour players following the meeting, which was meant to have Al-Rumayyan meet players for the first time and explain his thinking about potential PIF investment in PGA Tour Enterprises, the new for-profit entity that was established earlier this year with SSG’s investment, which could be up to $3 billion.
“If definitely seems like he envisions a place in the game of golf,” Simpson said. “We didn’t get as far as what he wants and what does LIV want. He certainly seems engaged enough in the game already that he has desires to see the game grow globally, I think it’s fair to say. And he mentioned growing it in Saudi to try and do that.”
