“It didn’t work then, and he’s trying to make it work now. I still don’t see how that’s in the best interests of the game.”
, Tiger Woods has been a staunch supporter of the PGA Tour in its battle with what it perceives as a serious threat to its fiefdom.
“I believe it’s the right thing,’’ Woods said of Norman being blackballed from the Open this week. “Greg has done some things that I don’t think is in the best interest of our game, and we’re coming back to probably the most historic and traditional place in our sport.Greg Norman“I know Greg tried to do this back in the early ’90s. It didn’t work then, and he’s trying to make it work now. I still don’t see how that’s in the best interests of the game.
“The players who have chosen to go to LIV and to play there, I disagree with it,’’ Woods said. “I think that what they’ve done is they’ve turned their back on what has allowed them to get to this position. Some players have never got a chance to even experience it — they’ve gone right from the amateur ranks right into that organization and never really got a chance to play out here and what it feels like to play a Tour schedule or to play in some big events.
Woods is fond of saying he’s learned the game and gotten to where he is today by “digging it out of the dirt’’ and “earning everything’’ he’s gotten. He took pointed shots at the guaranteed money the LIV players are getting as taking the lazy way out.
