PGA Tour golfers praise Tiger Woods' leadership amid LIV unrest, mum on details of meeting

The PGA Tour's top players aren't ready to reveal what was discussed during a meeting with Tiger Woods on Tuesday night, but many insist they're on the same page in terms of what the tour needs to do in its ongoing battle with LIV Golf.

Many of the top 20 golfers in the world and other influential players who are still members of the PGA Tour met with Woods for more than three hours at a hotel in Wilmington, Delaware, the site of this week's BMW Championship, the second leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs.

«I think the one thing that came out of it, which I think was the purpose, is all the top players on this tour are in agreement and alignment of where we should go going forward, and that was awesome,» Rory McIlroy said during a news conference Wednesday at Wilmington Country Club.

McIlroy said any ideas or proposed changes discussed by the players aren't for a «public forum right now» and will stay between the players and PGA Tour executives.

Xander Schauffele, the sixth-ranked player in the world, described some of the ideas discussed in the meeting as «new» and «fresh.»

When Schauffele was asked how he would like to see the battle between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf resolved, he said: «Some sort of unity. [Golf is] definitely fractured currently. Yeah, we're just in the middle of it. In a nice peaceful way would be a nice outcome.»

Having Woods, a 15-time major champion, in the meeting brought credibility to the discussion, the players said.

«I think it's pretty apparent that whenever we all get in the room, there's an alpha in there, and it's not me,» McIlroy said.

Woods and his good friend Rickie Fowler flew from Florida to Delaware to attend the meeting. About 20 to 25 players attended the meeting, including Jordan
