Jay Monahan thinks Tiger Woods would be reluctant to the idea of creating a special exemption category for The Players Championship

PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan feels Tiger Woods would need some convincing on any idea to offer a Players Championship exemption to a former winner of the event who’s not otherwise eligible.
There is a danger that could soon apply to Woods. The two-time Players Champion is not in the field for this week’s event despite having the option of competing thanks to his 2019 Masters win.
That handed him a five-year exemption, but after this year it will no longer apply, meaning he would need to find another way to qualify, with options including winning a PGA Tour event, picking up a 16th Major title, or finishing in the top 125 of the previous season’s FedEx Cup points list.
