"What Rory has said and done are what leaders do. Rory is a true leader out here on Tour. The fact that he's actually able to get the things he said out in the public eye, be so clear minded with it and so eloquent with it, meanwhile go out there and win golf tournaments on top of that, people have no idea how hard that is to do, to be able to separate those two things," said Woods.
Despite the jabs from both sides of the professional golf aisle, Woods still believes there's a window of opportunity for both tours to compromise,"but I think that window's closing." Backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, LIV Golf has long been criticized as a way for the Kingdom to sportswash its human rights record with guaranteed money and multi-million dollar deals. Woods freely admitted the Tour"can't compete dollar for dollar with the PIF," but did highlight what the Tour can offer in return.
"What we can do is talk about better opportunities for younger players getting onto the Tour, what it means to play the Tour, how important it is, how important it is to have a legacy, be able to win major championships," said Woods."… but the other players don't. They're taking a chance of never ever, ever getting a chance to play in major championships.
"It's an endless pit of money. But that doesn't necessarily create legacies either," Woods said of LIV and the PIF."You want to compare yourself to Hogan, you want to compare yourself to Snead, you want to compare yourself to Nicklaus, you can't do that over there, but you can on this Tour."
