This makes him eligible to play on the PGA Tour Champions, the senior golf tour for players aged 50 and over.Earlier this month, in an interview on Golf Week, South African golf legend Ernie Els spoke about why he thinks Woods should start playing on the Champions Tour. Els said:“I’ve said, please come play… it can only be beneficial to him. He will get himself in golf shape. You can ride a cart without any shame… if there was one guy that should be able to drive a cart, it’s him… he can get his a* back in shape.”Away from the course, Woods is also expected to take on a leadership role within the PGA Tour as the chairman of its new Future Competition Committee. Legends like Jack Nicklaus have also expressed that Woods would likely excel on the Champions Tour and help raise its profile.
