PGA of America is interested in the United States in the United States in September next year.
Tiger Woods has finally acknowledged that he could abandon the US Cup for a game in New York next year for negotiations in a knife with Saudi investment funds.
PGA of America was interested in obvious commercial and competitive reasons, so the icon brought stars and stripes to black Vespages, but it was clear that he was tired of the 48 -year -old youth. is. “Telegraph Sport understands that the association – which, like the US biennial division, also controls the US PGA Championship, which begins here at Valhalla on Thursday – has asked Woods and his team to give a definitive answer by the end of April .
“But the problem remains despite the fact that Europe’s reinstated captain Luke Donald has already visited Long Island and made notable progress in his preparations, naming two vice-captains. “But Woods has other things to do, primarily to be a central figure in upcoming negotiations to ratify a framework agreement between PIF, sponsor of the independent LIV Golf League, and the PGA Tour. .
“He is the Game Director on the Tour’s Political Council and is the only active golfer on the Contracts Subcommittee, which ultimately decides whether contract details are accepted and discusses them face-to-face with representatives. A certain PIF. “Plus, he and TaylorMade just launched a new clothing line, Sun Day Red, and are starting an indoor golf league with Rory McIlroy.
“Insiders say he and his management have asked the PGA of America if it could reduce the responsibilities of Ryder Cup sponsors in preparing for matches and delegate other responsibilities to assistant captains or others. However, it appears that the movement before and after that has stalled.
“We’re still talking,” Woods said Tuesday. “Nothing has been confirmed yet. We’re still working on what that might look like. Plus, whether or not I have the time to do it, I dedicate so much time to what we do with the PGA Tour, I don’t want to not fill the role of captain if I can’t do it.
“What all of this entails and representing Team USA and its commitments to the PGA of America, the players and the fans – I need to feel like I can give the time that it deserves.”
Woods was as cautious as ever and although he said he was “surprised” that Jimmy Dunne, the Tour leader who was the architect of the “framework agreement” between the circuit and the Saudis last year, n didn’t want to respond to Dunne’s accusation that the board players took over and made his job “totally superfluous.” “Dunn, a McIlroy ally, also said there had been “no significant progress” in talks so far. Woods denied this. “Has there been any progress?” he said. “Yes. But these are current negotiations, so for all of us with this process a lot of work in advance. We take measures and it cannot be giant steps, but we take measures. »»
It is obvious that his friend and trading partner, Macialra, that the Americans, apparently, were involved in the blocking of the unit by the board of directors, Woods was just as vague. “It’s good to see it differently, but collectively as a whole, we want to see whatever’s best for all the players, the fans and the state of golf,” he said.
Woods begins his unlikely challenge for a record-tying fifth US PGA crown at the course where he prevailed in 2000, alongside Adam Scott and Keegan Bradley.
