Paul Broadhurst assures that the veterans tour will be happy to receive the former world number one.

Acouple of years ago, Tiger Woods reiterated his refusal to play a tournament in a golf cart. However, after his considerable problems with injuries, Paul Brdoadhurst assured that the former world number one will have to use a buggy to play the PGA Champions Tour.

Broadhurst has two second places on the PGA senior tour in the United States, and his earnings have just reached $728,000, all thanks to the Champions Tour rules allowing him to play tournaments in a golf cart.

Last year, PGA officials granted the player a waiver to use the buggy. The English golfer can no longer play the 18 holes on foot due to the arthritis he suffers from in one of his ankles, and he needs medication to allow him to walk.

His situation is similar to that of Woods, whose injury history has taken a heavy toll on him in recent seasons. The former world number one has had to withdraw from several of his most recent competitions for health reasons, but Broadhurst said that would not be a problem on the tour for players over 50.

Broadhurst assured that if he joined the Champions Tour, “Woods will be able to take a cart, that won’t be an issue for him. He will perhaps be looking forward to playing without walking around.”

At the same time, Broadhurst assured that Tiger would be more than welcome on the veterans tour. “No question. They are really hopeful, and I think he has given out signs that he is more than happy to play once he turns 50,” said the 2018 Senior PGA Championship champion.

Woods, 48, has battled multiple injuries throughout his career, but in recent years, his back and one of his ankles have been a constant source of discomfort. The Genesis Invitational this past February was his first tournament in 10 months, and he had to withdraw due to health problems; however, this time, it was a cold and had nothing to do with his injuries according to a spokeperson.

For his part, the English veteran recalled that he suffers from severe arthritis in his right ankle that would prevent him from walking the 18 holes of a round. However, since the PGAChampions Tour allowed him to use a cart, he has been able to be more consistent with his game.

He explained that his ankle needs surgery, but that will have to wait until his final retirement from the circuit. “At the moment, I have been told it is a year to recover from, but I haven’t got a year playing this game.”

“I am 58 years old. That will have to wait for a few more years. At the moment, we are fortunately able to take a cart. I can get around that way, and it doesn’t seem to be affecting my golf,” indicated the player.

For the first time in his career, Tiger Woods has received an invitation to a major.

The USGA issued a ticket for the 48-year-old golfer who will return to Pinehurst 2 (North Carolina) to a tournament he has not played since 2020 and which he has won three times, the last time in 2008 in that playoff on Monday when he won with a limp and where all his physical problems began to manifest themselves definitively.

Tiger Woods explained the significance of his infamous Sunday Red outfits as his new clothing line officially launched in the early hours of Wednesday.

Fans have long been anticipating the golf legend’s new clothing line, Sun Day Red, hitting the shops since his split from Nike earlier this year following 27 years with the sportswear giant.

And his faithful followers needn’t wait any longer as the 48-year-old appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in New York late Tuesday night to promote the launch of the clothing line at midnight.

Meanwhile, hoodies are available for as much as $200, shorts for $130,  full length pants for $165 and hats for $40 to $50.

On-course accessories are also available for purchase, including gloves and towels – with limited edition ball makers setting fans back $50.

It’s about athletes being first, and designing something for the athlete, so that we can perform at a higher level,’ Woods told the TV host when asked about his design process behind the line.

The name, Sun Day Red, is inspired by Woods’ infamous outfits he sports on the final day of tournaments.

The 15-time major winner has always worn red on Sundays, providing many memorable looks for his multiple victories and he revealed his mom, Kultida, is to thank.

‘The red story is actually a good one,’ he added. ‘It comes from my mom. My mom thought me being a Capricorn it my power color or some B.S. like that.

‘I ended up wearing red, and I won some junior golf tournaments, and then to spite her I wore blue and then I did not win those tournaments. Mom is always right.’

Woods joined forces with TaylorMade, first announcing an expanded partnership with the new golf attire and accessory line back in February.

Woods has modeled his Sun Day Red line over the past couple of months, debuting at his long-awaited return to the PGA Tour at the Genesis Invitational back in February.

The golf icon teed it up in his new brand at Riviera Country Club for his first competitive tournament of 2024.

He wore a black sweater with the brand’s logo, a tiger emblem, stitched underneath the collar in white with a matching cap.

The tiger logo is made up of 15 stripes – one for every major he’s won – while the brand’s name is inspired by Woods’ color of choice for every final round he plays.

He also wore his own merchandise at The Masters this year, including a red polo for Sunday’s final round.  However, ironically, Sun Day Red launched with no red polos in its range on the website.

Ahigh-ranking CEO of an American media company has testified to purchasing images of Tiger Woods allegedly cheating on his ex-wife as the golfer’s sex scandal is dredged up once again.

Woods, 48, had long been rumored to have been unfaithful to Elin Nordegren when they were married before the infamous Thanksgiving weekend in 2009.

It was speculated that Woods had been with his alleged mistress Mindy Lawton, with photos apparently showing the pair together, although they were never published.

That was because the National Enquirer agreed not to put them into the public sphere, following a negotiation with Woods’ camp that he would feature on the cover of Men’s Fitness as part of a 12-page feature with the magazine.

And according to CEO David Pecker, testifying in the New York vs Trump trial, the speculated photos of Woods were real.

Pecker, who was the chief of the company that owned Men’s Fitness at the time, claims he purchased the photos of Woods and Lawton in the parking lot of a church.

The 72-year-old later used them as blackmail to get Woods to discuss his diet, workout routine and marriage. However, they were only of use for a limited time because his affair with another woman, Rachel Uchitel, became public in 2009.

Tiger Woods relationships and who he is dating now?

The American, widely recognized as the greatest golfer of all-time, has had a string of controversial relationships since his divorce from Nordegren, which cost him him an estimated $100million.

Woods has been in and out of relationships since then, including with Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn. The pair dated for three years before Vonn called quits on their relationship.

His most recent relationship with Erica Herman ended on a sour note when he was accused by her of sexual harassment. She later dropped the case after admitting she wasn’t sexually abused by Woods.

Rory McIlroy is in line to receive about $50m as the wait for an agreement with the Saudi Public Investment Fund goes on

Tiger Woods has received an email from Sawgrass HQ informing him that he will receive up to $100 million in equity for staying loyal to the PGA Tour, with Rory McIlroy benefitting possibly to the tune of $50m for not joining LIV.

Jay Monahan, the PGA Tour commissioner, pressed the button on the ultra-personal messages that have been eagerly awaited since Strategic Sports Group – a consortium of US investors led by Liverpool FC owner Fenway Sports – pumped $1.5 billion into PGA Tour Enterprises, the new for-profit company, three months ago.

READ MORE :Tiger Woods apparently injured ankle puts his The Masters participation in question

Approximately two thirds of that figure will be divvied up as equity to 193 golfers, although with $750 million to be split among the 36 superstars adjudged by the circuit to be most deserving the sums will be wildly different. Little wonder, therefore, that Monahan and his management team have been at pains to keep the breakdown confidential.

The Tour has already explained to its members that a primary factor in determining who obtains what is a metric called ‘career points’, which, as it says on the tin, awards marks for achievements on Tour for however long the players have been competing.

Other factors will be how they have fared in the Player Impact Program(PIP) – introduced three years ago largely to stave off the threat of the breakaway league – which rewards players who have had the largest impact on the Tour’s business: tickets, sponsorships, media consumption and fan engagement. Woods has already received $35 million in PIP payments, while McIlroy, who topped last year’s program, has pulled in $30.5 million from this source of income.

Inevitably, Woods, with 82 Tour titles, will be miles clear in the overall standings and insiders forecast he could secure as much as two times more than any other player in the sliding-scale system.

Phil Mickelson would have been second had he not jumped ship to LIV – the rebels are obviously excluded – although the new entity and this scheme would almost certainly not have come to fruition but for the formation of the Saudi-funded league and, in part, Mickelson’s role in the sporting civil war.

With three victories in the FedEx Cup – basically the PGA Tour money list – McIlroy will be Woods’s nearest pursuer and there will follow the likes of Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, who will be due equity worth about $30 million.

Annual equity awards for other PGA players

Of course, with Jon Rahm landing an upfront fee of $450 million to defect late last year, all of these names would have acquired far, far more if they had succumbed to the Saudi offers. And this record payday does not mean money in the bank. The recipients will be told how many equity units they have been granted and what the fair market value is at this juncture. They will not be able to cash in immediately and then suddenly sign for LIV.

After four years, 50 per cent of their equity will be vested, with another 25 per cent two years later and the remaining amount two years after that. They will also have to fall in line with the rules, which as well as not decamping, involve meeting the minimum requirements for Tour membership and, if not, providing services such as sponsors meets and media appearances.

The lucky three dozen will rub their hands, but the next 64 players will also collect $75 million in equity between them. The next tranche will see a total of 57 players sharing $30 million and another $75 million will be carved up between the 36 players considered living legends who have retired. In each group, career points will be the overriding determinant. Going forward, the Tour has pledged to award equity of $100 million on an annual basis rewarding those such as second-year sensation Ludvig Aberg who are quickly picking up career points.

Naturally, the equity will grow, despite the Tour’s recent poor TV ratings as the dilution of talent because of the split takes its toll. Nobody is expecting it to fall. And if the Tour can agree a deal with the Saudi Public Investment Fund in the ongoing negotiations then the players hope their stocks could explode. If that remains uncertain then at least one thing appears assured: the current batch of professionals are not going poor anytime soon.

Salacious rumors about Tiger Woods possibly using performance-enhancing drugs in the midst of his stellar golf career have been around for years.

Former PGA Tour star Mark Lye mentioned the rumors again on Monday in an interview with OutKick’s “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich.” Dakich asked whether “it was felt by many around golf – people that really know – that Tiger Woods has used ‘roids in the past or may have used ‘roids in the past?”

“Yes, that is. It is except for the people in Tiger’s corner. ‘You better shut up about it.’ Nobody ever gone out like that,” Lye said. “Nobody’s ever said that like I’m saying it right now. There’s just no doubt. And I would say about 80 or 90% of the people out there know something ain’t right.”

Lye, who won on the PGA Tour in 1983 and finished tied for sixth at the 1984 Masters, didn’t get into specifics, but rumors about Woods and steroids have popped up in the past.

Woods’ treatment from controversial Canadian doctor Anthony Galea was detailed in the 2014 book “Blood Sport: Alex Rodriguez, Biogenesis and the Quest to End Baseball’s Steroid Era.” Woods’ former swing coach, Hank Haney, told Golf Digest at the time he never saw Woods do “anything like that” and was unsure “how it would help him.”

Former PGA Tour player Dan Olsen said in July 2015, without evidence, that Woods was secretly suspended from the organization for failing a drug test.

Woods’ agent, Mark Steinberg, and the PGA Tour both denied the claim. Steinberg said at the time that the claims were “absolutely, unequivocally and completely false.” Olsen later retracted his claim.

Steinberg didn’t immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on Lye’s remarks.
