For the first time in five months, Tiger Woods faced the media.
Ahead of the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, the 15-time major winner sat down with journalists to have his say on the current state of men’s professional golf.

He described an “opportunity” if both sides halt legal proceedings, but on whether the tours can coexist: “Not right now.”
