Tiger Woods Confirms Premier Golf League Approach

The biggest 'needle-mover' in the game by a long way is Tiger Woods, who would have the power and following to turn the Premier Golf League from a concept into a market-leading entertainment product.

"Have I been personally approached? Yes, and my team's been aware of it and we've delved into the details of it and trying to figure it out just like everyone else," he said.

"We've been down this road before with World Golf Championships and other events being started, or other tours want to evolve and started.

"There's a lot of information that we're still looking at and whether it's reality or not, but just like everybody else, we're looking into it.

"I think that just like all events, you're trying to get the top players to play more collectively.

"It's one of the reasons why we instituted the World Golf Championships, because we were only getting together five times a year, the four majors and The Players, and we wanted to showcase the top players on more than just those occasions.

"We came up with the World Golf Championships and we're meeting more often.

"And so this is a natural evolution, whether or not things like this are going to happen, but ideas like this are going to happen going forward, whether it's now or any other time in the future."
