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.

Travis Kelce cried as he begged Browns to draft him: ‘I will f–king die for this city!'

Travis Kelce… Browns tight end? Well, if he had it his way over a decade ago, that's how his career might have shaken out. In the lead-up to the 2013 NFL Draft, Kelce met with the Browns and the team's then-head coach, Rob Chudzinski, and made clear he wanted one thing — to be a Cleveland Brown. Advertisement Travis Kelce (87) looks on during the Chiefs' preseason road loss to the Cardinals. Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Kelce, who went to Cleveland Heights High School and attended the University of Cincinnati, made an emotional plea to try to play for his hometown squad. 'I cried in [Chudzinski's] office and said, 'I will f–king die for this city!'' Kelce told GQ. 'I literally was in tears. I said, 'I'm sorry I'm getting emotional. I grew up down the street. I would f–king do anything to play for the Cleveland Browns.' He looked at me like I was insane. I don't think he'd ever had somebody just pour out their emotions.' Advertisement Kelce was instead taken in the third round by the Chiefs, the team he has played with for his entire NFL career. He has racked up 10 Pro Bowl and four All-Pro nods and won three Super Bowls as one of the game's greatest tight ends of all time. As for the Browns, they took linebacker Barkevious Mingo and cornerback Leon McFadden, neither of whom earned a Pro Bowl appearance in their respective careers, though Mingo did win a Super Bowl with the 2016 Patriots. Rob Chudzinski yells to his players on the sidelines during the Browns' 17-6 home loss to the Bengals on Sept. 29, 2013. Getty Images Advertisement Kelce, entering his 13th NFL season, recently said he has moved past Super Bowl 2025's blowout loss to the Eagles. 'I've thrown that thing in the trash,' Kelce told reporters last week. 'I've moved on. It happened sooner than you can imagine. I was pretty focused on this year in the offseason.'
