Donald Trump has supported Tiger Woods to win more Majors “a few”, while the American president continues to look for a resolution that reverses golf.
Trump has been asked to help the negotiations between the PGA Tour and the Saudi-supported Liv Golf series in an attempt to end the Schism of the sport.
A number of top golfers, including Bryson Dechambeau and Jon Rahm, gave up their PGA Tour membership to adopt lucrative offers in the Breakaway series. A framework agreement between the PGA Tour and the Saudi Aarabia Public Investment Fund (PIF) was announced in June 2023, but since then little progress has been made for closer tires.
But there is optimism that can change after Trump has met PIF bosses this week, as well as representatives of the PGA Tour, including Woods.
“We have just concluded a constructive work session in the White House with President Trump and his Excellency Yasir Al-Rahayyan,” said a statement from PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, player director Adam Scott and Woods.
“Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, we have initiated a discussion about the reunification of Golf. We are dedicated to move as quickly as possible and we will share additional details.
“We share a passion for the game and the importance of reunification. The most important thing is that we all want the best players in the world to play together more often and everything we can do to deliver that result for our fans.”
Woods has remained a key figure for the PGA tour, even with the veteran who has been playing sparingly in recent years while fighting against injuries.
The 49-year-old secure remarkably a 15th major at the Masters in 2019 more than a decade after securing his 14th, but since then it has not since been in the top 30 of one of the largest events of Golf since then.
However, Trump is convinced that Woods could still climb closer to Jack Nicklaus’s recordtally of 18 large crowns.
“I played with him last week,” said the president. “I think he has a few more majors left … Maybe more than that. “
