Tiger Sounding Non-Committal (At Best) On Euro Tour Membership
From today's presser to announce the field and new sponsor for the year-end World Challenge at Sherwood.
Q. Wondering what your thoughts are on ‑‑ you mentioned before that you might be joining the European Tour a few weeks back. I want to know what that would mean if you chose to do that.
TIGER WOODS: Well, they asked me the question whether or not I would entertain it, and I said, yeah, I entertained it early on in my career, there's no doubt, because at the time there was only 11 events, and I believe it was eight cross‑overs, and I played once or twice in Europe, and that put me at nine or ten ‑‑ usually at 10 because I played in Asia and I played as well in Germany for all those years. So I was only one event away.
Now it's at 13. 13 is a little bit more difficult to get to, but that's one of the reasons why I think they implemented the Ryder Cup and the Presidents Cup as events that count towards that number. I certainly can see the benefits and also see the negatives of playing that much golf. But going forward, I don't know.

It'll never happen. Too much like work.
