Tiger Woods admits more big names could be coaxed towards the LIV tour by lucrative incentives. Jon Rahm, Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay have all been linked with a switch to the Saudi Arabian-backed LIV circuit in recent days. Potential deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars have been mooted, with LIV seemingly keen to increase its footprint.

The coaxing of Rahm would be especially notable given his status as the Masters champion. As these stories persist, the PGA and DP World Tours are trying to formalise a framework agreement with Saudi’s Public Investment Fund. The deadline for that deal to be completed is the end of December. Woods, a 15-time major champion, now sits on the PGA Tour’s policy board.
