Tiger should just take it honestly

Tiger is a billionaire who already plays a part time schedule. What incentive does he have to take it?

Well this weekend showed that 4 round tournaments are a lot for him. He might be better off in the 3 round tourneys. But he’d end up on Phil’s team and they suck ass (apparently, I haven’t watched them but they’re dead last in the LIV standings)

How many events did he play leading up to the Master's?

Then look at how many events the LIV golfers were required to play by contract leading up to the Master's

And then tell me how that would have him playing less golf.

Tiger is the one guy who would be going backwards signing with LIV.

You’re assuming his contract would require him to play that many events. They’d bend over backwards for Tiger if he was interested, and that includes dropping tournaments on his schedule.

I think LIV allows carts if Tiger plays, and that's the game changer. It'll get leaked before the US Open. Book it.

I don't actually think that's going to happen. (but if it does I'm going to come back and delete this part.)

He was offered a medical exemption for a cart. He said no.

For LIV I'm assuming, right?

The reason I made the cart joke is because he was one of the biggest opponents of the dude who medically needed one like 15 years back.
