Perhaps the most influential golfer ever weighed in on the war between the established PGA Tour and its controversial Saudi-funded challenger, as he criticized LIV Golf on Tuesday.
Tiger Woods spoke to the media Tuesday.

Woods questioned whether LIV Golf players even have an incentive to practice because of the new tour's no cut format.
More than one billion dollars. Forbes says that Woods has made the most of his time on and off the course in the history of sports. Forbes named Woods a billionaire due to his record earnings.
Phil Mickelson, Woods' long-time rival and the PGA Tour's second- highest career earner, expressed support for the new league despite its financing from the Saudi Arabian wealth fund and the Saudi government.

The Department of Justice could find that the PGA Tour engaged in anticompetitive behavior. The investigation is being conducted by the PGA Tour, and it is confident that it will find no wrongdoing. Any golfer who played in LIV Golf's first two events have been suspended by the PGA Tour.
Tiger Woods is officially a billionaire.
