Tiger Woods denied even being at a 2022 players’ meeting regarding LIV Golf, let alone making a speech to the players which he was alleged of doing.
A public court filing in Palm Beach County alleged Woods made a scripted PGA Tour "pep talk" at a players-only meeting on June 21, 2022, with the purpose of dissuading golfers from joining LIV Golf.
However, Woods took to Twitter Sunday night to dispute having ever seen the document, and saying he was not at the meeting.

"In response to the talking points memo released this weekend, I have never seen this document until today, and I did not attend the players meeting for which it was prepared at the 2022 Travelers," he wrote in the Tweet.
The document was uncovered by a Twitter user, @desertdufferLLG, this past weekend, which shows an alleged script made for by PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan and Woods.
The document has Monahan beginning his speech by saying LIV Golf is "a threat to your livelihood, your business and the game of golf as a whole."

It goes on to have Woods come up, requesting that Monahan leave and the cameras to be shut off in the back of the town hall.
The document has talking points for Woods, which include calling Monahan "our captain" and that he is "working his a-- off" for the Tour. Also, "he’s the right guy for this war. He’s a fighter."
