Tiger Woods’ most important work from right here on out will likely be off the course, serving to the PGA Tour and its gamers navigate now-choppy waters in professional golf.

In some unspecified time in the future in golf’s most making an attempt yr, the person whose private dominance triggered the sport’s fiscal prominence had develop into, like nearly everybody else, a curious bystander. Tiger Woods’ preparation for the British Open coincided with LIV’s London launch (June 9) and its follow-up occasion in Portland three weeks later. Between a disappointing T47 on the Masters and what would develop into a missed reduce at St. Andrews, Woods had loads of time to mull the Lifetime of Tiger.
Intensive medical historical past.
Apparent bodily limitations.
Forty-six years outdated.
Extra internet value than most suburban neighborhoods.
A Saudi-funded upstart with tons of swagger.
Huge-name gamers ditching the PGA Tour for gigantic, up-front money.
Maybe this could clarify why Woods flew to Delaware final month prematurely of the second FedEx Cup playoff occasion, taking the initiative to get entangled in discussions together with his fellow tour execs about methods to stanch the bleeding attributable to defections to the rival league. By all accounts, the assembly was well-attended and extremely productive—commissioner Jay Monahan introduced important modifications to the 2024 schedule the next week.
Everyone is aware of concerning the inflow of prize cash and hearty enhance to the Participant Impression Program (PIP) by now. It’s outdated information, though the emergence of Woods as a good-of-the-game pitchman and proactive ambassador definitely isn’t. The Delaware journey was a narrative that went largely neglected, extra of a photograph op than an incidence that necessitated heavy reporting. On the time, the main focus was rightfully on the mission itself, and that was definitely lined adequately. Little was made of the particular man on the mission.
Scroll to Proceed
Twenty years in the past, Tiger wouldn’t have walked 50 yards to a Ryder Cup workforce assembly except it was necessary. He ducked all legislative points and wouldn’t have served on the PGA Tour coverage board should you held each session in his basement. He was a famous person with tunnel imaginative and prescient, and no person in a tunnel does politics. Sure, he had some gripes, and if he trusted you, he’d categorical them in a mixture of sarcasm and pretend anger, the cannon all the time loaded with F-bombs.
This summer season, nonetheless, Woods certainly felt the hand of aggressive mortality come to relaxation on his shoulder. He labored so exhausting to sharpen his recreation for the British Open and didn’t come near pulling it off. His physique doesn’t hearken to his thoughts anymore, leaving him to acknowledge publicly that his profession is nearly over.
Alongside comes the LIV invasion, and similar to that, the Tour wants him. Badly. With out discover or something even vaguely resembling a transition, Woods springs again into motion, recognizing the aim of his presence and his impact on all of the younger gamers who grew up hoping to be half nearly as good because the One and Solely. For all of the individuals who thought of him egocentric and uncaring in his youthful years—for all of the phrases written about how his awful Ryder Cup report is an apt reflection of that apathy—it’s fairly simple to wave off his contributions in Delaware as a one-time deal.
Don’t guess a nickel on it. Age has a approach of serving to us all see the sunshine, and if you’ve handled as a lot darkness as Tiger has introduced upon himself for the reason that notorious collapse of his marriage in late 2009, you don’t want a weatherman to let you know the solar is shining.
He’s nonetheless crucial individual within the recreation. If Woods ever has any designs on turning into the subsequent commissioner, it wouldn’t take greater than 20 minutes to get that performed, however let’s not get carried away. Icons don’t sit on thrones, nor do they sit behind a desk. The job isn’t well worth the time or the headache that comes with it, and apart from, Woods is of higher worth to the Tour in an unofficial capability. Speaking with the gamers. Performing as a liaison between church and state. Dealing with stuff only some folks on earth may deal with whereas imparting a optimistic affect on the Camp Ponte Vedra’s general well being.
All of it comes right down to how large a slice of the cake Tiger desires in his aggressive afterlife. He’s an asset that can’t be replicated or bought. He’s additionally the daddy of two youngsters and well-known sufficient to make a half-million bucks only for displaying up at a division retailer, which is one other approach of claiming that hanging out on the observe vary and chatting with the fellas would get outdated in a rush. He’s not wired for immobile small speak, however should you want him to fly 1,100 miles and sit in a lodge banquet room to speak about chopping up Greg Norman, there’s no person on this universe extra suited to the duty.
For what it’s value to the higher good, a rosy relationship with Woods is important to the Tour’s future. His illustration is past measure, notably because it pertains to any extra raids of the product down the street. Any avid sports activities fan with 5 or 6 a long time of reminiscence is conscious of the interior rebellion that ultimately turned skilled tennis into a multitude. Within the late Sixties and early Nineteen Seventies, observe and subject generated sizable tv audiences by way of its affiliation with ABC’s “Large World of Sports activities.” Its highlight and relevance have since been diminished to a two-week window each 4 years.
Anyone keep in mind boxing? No athletic contest was extra common for an extended time frame, however when ego and greed started chewing into the very material of the product, a number of variations of the game emerged. These days, the enterprise of beating folks up is a very disparate business, unrecognizable to the mainstream, struggling to outlive as specialty programming on HBO and ESPN.
Woods clearly can’t do something concerning the guys who’ve already fled the Tour, though he may play an important function in brokering their return if the LIV undertaking crawls to a halt. His help in legislating this newest monetary windfall was most likely going to occur, anyway, however his willingness to hit the street and listen to what needed to be mentioned supplied a way of unification not just for the gamers themselves, however the important proportion of the general public involved concerning the recreation’s present state.
No person in golf is aware of extra about fractures than Tiger Woods. That’s for positive.
