Tiger Woods teases unification between PGA Tour, LIV Golf could be happening soon
Tiger Woods teases unification between PGA Tour, LIV Golf could be happening soon
Tiger Woods went into the 18th hole tower on Sunday during the final round of the 2025 Genesis Invitational and talked about a multitude of topics.
One of his answers late during his interview teased something everyone has been patiently waiting on for nearly two years.
It seems reunification of men's professional golf is happening sooner rather than later, especially after President Donald Trump has gotten involved since taking office. Whether it was a round of golf with Rory McIlroy, with Woods last Sunday before the Super Bowl or when Adam Scott and PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan went to the White House last week, wheels are moving on the top players coming together in more than just the major championships.
Jim Nantz and Trevor Immelman of CBS Sports asked Woods about reunification and the state of men's professional golf, and he gave an insightful answer.
"I think we're in a very positive place right now," Woods said. "We had a meeting with the President. Unfortunately I had some other circumstances that came up but Jay (Monahan) and Adam (Scott), they did great during the meeting. We have another subsequent meeting coming up.
"I think things are going to heal quickly. We are getting this game going in the right direction, it's been headed in the wrong direction for a number of years. The fans want all of us to play together, all the top players to play together and we are going to make that happen."
Woods' comments echoed what others have said in recent weeks, that it seems the wheels are actually moving and things are looking up.
How soon could it be?
"It could be this year? Or it could be very soon this year?,' asked Nantz.
"Yes. Yes and yes," Woods responded while laughing.
That's positive news for fans of professional golf, but only time will tell how and when unification will happen.

Is ESPN's hypothetical Trey Hendrickson trade feasible for the Lions?
Is ESPN's hypothetical Trey Hendrickson trade feasible for the Lions? Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson continues to be in a contract dispute with the team. Until the issue is resolved, Hendrickson will continue to be the subject of trade speculation. With that speculation, and with the need for extra help on the edge, the Detroit Lions will be linked to any potential trade discussion for Hendrickson. But is a trade actually feasible for the team? Before getting into that, let's discuss the hypothetical trade idea for Hendrickson to the Lions that was proposed by ESPN's Ben Solak this week. Solak proposed Hendrickson and a 2026 fifth-round pick to the Lions for a 2026 second-round pick and a conditional 2027 fourth-round pick that can become a third. Solak wrote: "Lions general manager Brad Holmes has acknowledged the fan base wants a secondary edge rusher far more than he does, but I imagine a player of Hendrickson's caliber would change Holmes' calculus slightly. Hendrickson isn't the sort of run defender the Lions might prioritize, yet a pass-rush duo of Aidan Hutchinson and Hendrickson might be the scariest in the NFL. "The Lions are still legitimate Super Bowl contenders and should behave as such with aggressive veteran trades. They have plenty of cap space to extend Hendrickson, which he would demand of an acquiring team." The Lions currently have $40 million in salary cap space for 2025, but are currently projected to be about $14 million over the cap for 2026, according to Spotrac. That can easily be addressed by restructuring contracts, including that of quarterback Jared Goff, for example. Goff is currently scheduled to make $55 million in base salary. The Lions do have other players set for new contracts coming up and the money will start getting pretty high. Not the least of which is Detroit's leading edge-rusher Aidan Hutchinson. In addition, safety Brian Branch is also due for an extension after this season. Tight end Sam LaPorta will also be coming up. All three have two years left on their rookie contracts -- Hutchinson had his fifth-year option picked up, Branch and LaPorta were not eligible for fifth-year options.

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A deal has finally been agreed upon between the Pittsburgh Steelers and future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers. After months of rumors, reports, and speculation, Rodgers will officially be the team's new starting quarterback for the 2025 NFL season. He will be playing on a one-year deal. More than likely, this will be a farewell tour season for one of the best quarterbacks to ever throw a football. Rodgers gives the Steelers a fighting chance to compete for a Super Bowl. He has a talented a roster around him in Pittsburgh and is more than capable of putting up big numbers even at 41 years of age. Aaron Rodgers #8 of the New York Jets looks on prior to a game against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on December 17, 2023 in Miami Gardens, Florida.

Photo byWhile a deal is now done and Rodgers will be the team's starter, some shocking new details have been revealed about what the Steelers wanted to do at quarterback. He was not their top target. Read more: Steelers Trade Proposal Would Land Another Superstar for Aaron Rodgers According to a report from ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, Pittsburgh tried to re-sign Justin Fields and wanted to trade for Matthew Stafford. Those two players were the Steelers' first top preferences. When those two players decided to play elsewhere, Pittsburgh then turned its attention to Rodgers. "This was the best move that the Pittsburgh Steelers could make right now," Schefter said. "But, lets also remember, this was the third option for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They were in on Matthew Stafford and couldn't get done a trade. They tried to re-sign Justin Fields, he opted to go to the New York Jets where he will meet Aaron Rodgers on opening day. After they couldn't get a trade done for Stafford and couldn't get Fields re-signed, they pivoted to Aaron Rodgers. So Aaron Rodgers, right now, was their third choice." Despite not getting their top two options, the Steelers found a great consolation prize. Rodgers should put together a strong season in 2025. Read more: Packers' Jordan Love Speaks Out After Aaron Rodgers Signs With Steelers Last year with the New York Jets, Rodgers threw for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions, while completing 63 percent of his passes. Those numbers would be a massive upgrade from what Pittsburgh had under center in 2024. There has been a split opinion about the Rodgers signing within the Steelers' fan base. Some believe he is going to bring a lot of success to the team, while others don't like the move at all. It will be interesting to see what the 2025 season has in store. However, the deal is done and Rodgers will be the lead man in Pittsburgh. For more Pittsburgh Steelers and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.

It is really anyone to win heading into the last day. The score to beat right now is -14, but players have been shooting ridiculous scores all week, making no lead safe down the stretch. Manassero and Fox both carded scores of 64 on Saturday, and Lee Hodges and Kevin Yu, who are tied for third, both shot an impressive 63 in the third round. By the time it is all said and done on Sunday, -20 might end up being what it takes to take home the top prize. Rory McIlroy, unfortunately, failed to make the cut after shooting +9 in his first two rounds, and defending champion Robert MacIntyre also appears to be out of it, currently sitting at -4.
