Tiger Woods claims he has never seen the allegedly prepared remarks for him to deliver at a player’s meeting last year, documents involved in a federal lawsuit.

Golf Digest and Golf Channel reported on Monday that 357 pages of emails and documents were included in a lawsuit filed in the 15th Judicial District of Palm Beach County, Florida, against Tiger Woods.

Among the exhibits were scripted Woods allegedly from the PGA Tour intended for the 15-time major winner to repeat at a players meeting at the 2022 Travellers Championship, only weeks after LIV Golf’s inaugural event in London.

“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,” Woods tweeted late on Sunday.

Woods was reportedly prepared to say that PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan was “the right guy for this war, he’s a fighter” and that players needed to “join the fight” and “do what I did” by rejecting offers from the Saudi backers of LIV Golf.

The meeting occurred at a time when the PGA Tour was concerned about the number of players who were defecting to LIV for record $25 million purses, guaranteed deals, and 54-hole tournaments.X

Woods withdrew from the Masters after aggravating a foot injury and subsequently underwent right leg fusion surgery in April. He has not provided a return date.

Woods’s rejection of the remarks came a month after Monahan’s shocking announcement that the PGA Tour had reached a merger agreement with the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) to end the battle between the PGA and the upstarts, erasing lawsuits that would have revealed business information about both organisations.

The 47-year-old Woods has not commented on the LIV-PGA merger agreement.

According to Golf Digest, the court filings included details of the DP World Tour’s dire financial situation, which prompted the PGA to strike a deal with LIV that included the DP World Tour, as well as a proposed future schedule, alliance details, and scripted remarks for board members to deliver.
