As speculation continues to mount about the startup Premier Golf League, Tiger Woods confirmed Tuesday that he has been "personally approached" about potential involvement in what could become a rival circuit to the PGA Tour.
Details remain scant about the PGL, which reportedly could begin as soon as 2022 and would include 10 to 18 limited-field events for eight-figure purses across the world. But there are enough specifics to spark reactive messages to players from both PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and his European Tour counterpart, Keith Pelley.
There is also reportedly a team-owner aspect that could be used to incentivize some of the game's biggest names, including Phil Mickelson who played with key PGL figures during the Saudi International pro-am and has told reporters that he's "intrigued" by the concept.
