Leaked LIV Golf documents have revealed that the Saudi-backed venture made Tiger Woods their No 1 target in a year that has explosively divided the sport.
After a slow start to their quest to capture the game's major stars, the rebel tour have secured the services of a host of big names, including the likes of Phil Mickleson, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and now sacked former European Ryder Cup captain Henrik Stenson. But the most significant blow arguably came in August, when Open champion Cameron Smith defected.
The PGA Tour have since sought to respond, with Woods and Rory McIlroy the instigators of a new virtual TGL venture. Indeed, the pair have been two of the most vociferous critics of the LIV concept, and both have called for CEO Greg Norman to be removed in order for negotiations on a compromise to begin.
