Tiger On The Premier Golf League: "We're looking into it."
/Tiger Woods was asked for thoughts on the proposed Premier Golf League, calling the proposed circuit a natural evolution of the World Golf Championships. He also suggested ideas like this will continue and did not rule out the current proposal as an option:
Q. Tiger, have you personally been approached about the Premier Golf League concept and what do you think of the whole idea?
TIGER WOODS: Have I been personally approached? Yes, and my team's been aware of it and we've delved into the details of it and trying to figure it out just like everyone else. We've been down this road before with World Golf Championships and other events being started, or other tours want to evolve and started. There's a lot of information that we're still looking at and whether it's reality or not, but just like everybody else, we're looking into it.
And this follow-up suggesting such proposals will be a regular thing of the future.
Q. Why do you think something like that would even have a possibility? Is there something not right out here that you would like to see better?
TIGER WOODS: I think that just like all events, you're trying to get the top players to play more collectively. It's one of the reasons why we instituted the World Golf Championships, because we were only getting together five times a year, the four majors and THE PLAYERS, and we wanted to showcase the top players on more than just those occasions. We came up with the World Golf Championships and we're meeting more often. And so this is a natural evolution, whether or not things like this are going to happen, but ideas like this are going to happen going forward, whether it's now or any other time in the future.
