The PGA Tour Player Directors are meeting with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF) in the Bahamas - and Tiger Woods is set to speak directly with Yasir Al-Rumayyan

Tiger Woods is expected to play a round of golf with LIV Golf chief Yasir Al-Rumayyan in the Bahamas on Monday, with discussions centring around a deal with the PGA Tour and Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia .

It has since been revealed by Sports Illustrated that the peace talks are now taking place at Albany Resort in the Bahamas, the home of the Hero World Challenge, a PGA Tour event hosted by Woods.It remained unknown as to whether the 82-time PGA Tour winner would be in attendance, but it has since been confirmed by Barstool Sports that Woods will in fact be joined by PIF chairman, Al-Rumayyan out on the golf course where the pair will discuss the future of professional golf.

"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.
