Tiger Woods Weighs Senior Tour Return as Players Split on LIV Golfers
Tiger Woods is seriously considering a return on the PGA Tour Champions next season, according to two-time season champion Steven Alker.
The circuit is for golfers aged 50 and over, and its events can offer three-round formats and golf carts.
Alker said Woods is interested in major senior events, including the US Senior Open.
Winning that event could give Woods a record 10th USGA title, moving him past Bobby Jones.
Players are divided over welcoming veteran LIV Golf players back to the circuit.
Some want high-profile players to attract more attention and sponsorship, while others do not want them admitted.
The tour has lost its PGA Tour pension payments and now stands on its own, making those financial benefits important.
Alker said players are also debating who should be allowed back and whether PGA Tour suspension rules should apply.

This talk, yeah, he seriously wants to come out, there's inside talking
He wants to come out and play, and in particular, I think the big events, like the invitationals or Stricker's event and the Furyk event.
It's a Catch-22
