YOU CAN'T SEE THE WOODS FOR THE TREES!

Tiger struggles again but is hopeful LIV civil war has taken a 'positive' step forward after talks last month... but still no deal

TIGER WOODS has revealed last month's peace talks with PIF boss Yasir Al-Rumayyan were "positive" for the future of golf and the 15-time Major winner said: "We're headed in the right direction."

Saudi-backed LIV Golf started a civil war in the sport in 2022 by signing top stars, like Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson, for the breakaway league.

And Woods was among its most vocal critics, stating at The Open in St Andrews: "What they've done is they've turned their back on what has allowed them to get to this position."

But a shock "framework agreement" was announced on June 6 last year with the aim of striking a deal for the Saudis to invest in a new for-profit PGA Tour.

Rory McIlroy has called for the sport to be reunited since the December signing of his Ryder Cup teammate Jon Rahm.
