One of the trending topics that has hit the golf market is Tiger Woods‘ latest standpoint on the $3 billion merger. While the probable coalition between the PGA Tour, the DP World Tour, and LIV Golf came forth earlier in June, Woods was silent as a grave. This piqued the interest of many professionals and fans because, despite his hush, the 15-time major winner’s name was now and then associated with the billion-dollar union.

However, finally, the staggering news of the 82-time PGA Tour victor agreeing to become the sixth Player Director on the Policy Board has provided an answer for itself. Like many other golf stars, Woods’ acceptance has conveyed a green signal for the PGA Tour-LIV Golf amalgamation. Interestingly, right after the golf icon’s accord, LIV star Phil Mickelson couldn’t help but feel comforted. The fans, however, didn’t share Lefty’s sentiments; instead, the coincidence left them perplexed.

Lefty, who hasn’t been able to deliver in the last two majors and has also been relatively less active on social media, was again witnessed divulging his stance. This time the subject of his tweet was Tiger Woods, his new responsibility, and the Policy Board.
While mentioning these three, the six-time major winner said, “This is great to see. Players having equal representation on the board, Tiger getting more involved, and accountability across the board.” According to the golfer, it screams awesome news for the golf world. His thoughts appeared to be aligning with those of the other PGA Tour stars as well, including Woods.

As the 11-time PGA Tour Player of the Year awardee took center stage, he acknowledged the importance of his new role. Moreover, just like Mickelson, the 47-year-old believed it was a “critical point” for the league. Thus, everyone, especially players, will ensure the best interests of each entity (fans, sponsors, and professionals) are met.
Overall, it seems that no matter the prefix before the star’s name—LIV Golf or PGA Tour—the big entities in the golf dynamics are embracing the new changes with open arms. Furthermore, there appears to be a sense of confidence in the future effects of the reforms. Yet, despite this positive outlook toward the merger, the players did not emit a similar chi for the fans. They were left perplexed by Lefty’s tweet.
The golf community was left puzzled by Mickelson’s words on Woods joining the board
The joining of forces between the leagues has garnered approval for the alterations from renowned golfers like Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, and others. Now, the golf superstar, Tiger Woods, has also added his name to the list and welcomed the change. While this acknowledgment gained Phil Mickelson’s appreciation, the golf community had quite a baffling reaction. One of the fans said, “This is the most hilarious, condescending comment I’ve seen all day“.

A couple of other Twitter users couldn’t help but voice their confusion through varied questions:
One of the tweets used mockery in delivering its words and took a jab at Tiger Woods:
Only a matter of time before we have Commissioner Woods.

Meanwhile, some other members of the golf community agreed with what the 2021 PGA Championship winner said. They stated:
Agreed! I hope though he looks out also for players new to the PGA tour that are footing most of their own expenses from tournament to tournament.

However, the supporters couldn’t prevent a few other golf enthusiasts from delivering harsh comments against Phil Mickelson. One of them said:
Tiger makes Phil irrelevant again

But this encouraged Lefty’s fans to further shower the golfer with love and support. Acknowledging their respect for the golf legend, they commented:
Good luck at The Greenbrier. Fun track.
