"I’ve got to hear out what they have to say and I will always do my best to represent the entire membership whenever I am in a meeting in that capacity... More information is always better. I doubt we’ll get into anything substantive in the first meeting, just more of a meet and greet. My role is always to represent the entire membership to the best of my ability."If there’s a deal that could be struck that’s in the best interest of the entire membership, I’m all for it.
Despite now being out of the meeting room, the four-time major winner had his say on the player peace talks, which he believes should have happened some time ago. "I think it should have happened months ago, so I am glad that it's happening. Hopefully that progresses conversations and gets us closer to a solution," he said at Sawgrass.
