'We’re looking into it': Tiger Woods weighs in on breakaway Premier Golf League

Tiger weighed in for the first time on two significant stories – the proposed Premier Golf League that threatens to take stars away from the established PGA and European tours and the recently released yardage report from the R&A and the USGA.

As one of golf’s elder statesmen now, Tiger Woods is getting the same big-picture questions that Nicklaus and Palmer always tackled as tournament hosts. He weighed in Tuesday for the first time on two significant stories – the proposed Premier Golf League that threatens to take stars away from the established PGA and European tours and the recently released yardage report from the R&A and the USGA.

As for the PGL, Woods said he has been approached by the proposed world league’s deep-pocketed backers. His presence would be a key to its success and it could be easier to lure him away if he breaks the PGA Tour’s wins record.
