TIGER WOODS has revealed last month's peace talks with PIF boss Yasir Al-Rumayyan were positive.
Saudi-backed LIV Golf started a civil war in the sport in 2022 by signing top stars like Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson for the breakaway league.
And Woods was among the most vocal critics, saying: "What they've done is they've turned their back on what has allowed them to get to this position."
But a shock "framework agreement" was announced on June 6 last year with the aim of striking a deal for the Saudis to invest in a new for-profit PGA Tour.
Rory McIlroy has called for the sport to be reunited since the December signing of his Ryder Cup team-mate Jon Rahm.
And Woods joined other members of the PGA Tour Policy Board, plus Jordan Spieth, Adam Scott, Patrick Cantlay, Peter Malnati and Webb Simpson, to negotiate with Newcastle chairman Al-Rumayyan in the Bahamas.
