Tensions between the LIV Golf defectors and the PGA Tour loyalists were raised again after Ashley Perez took aim at Tiger Woods in a recent outburst.
Soon after it emerged the Saudi-funded circuit has filed a lawsuit attempting to oust DP World Tour boss Keith Pelley, the wife of LIV rebel Pat Perez made a more personal approach on Monday. Her words appeared underneath an Instagram video posted by @Golfballing, in which Woods admitted the end of his glittering career could be nigh.
"I can hit golf balls. It's the walking that just hurts," the 46-year-old told reporters, having struggled to regain his previous levels following a life-threatening car crash in February 2021. It was feared arguably the greatest golfer of all time would never play again, but Woods returned at the 2022 Masters.
