Woods recently told Golf World magazine that his relationship with Finchem had broken down and that he was being used to promote the Tour without being properly rewarded.

Woods suggested he and other PGA Tour golfers should be awarded a cut of future television rights.

Reports have suggested that Woods, who has dominated the sport for the past two seasons, could cut his ties with the PGA Tour and branch out on his own if the dispute is not cleared up.

"It's between the Tour and myself, and hopefully it will be resolved," Woods said a week ago. "We're going to sit down and talk, but I have a few more rounds to play first."

Woods is estimated to earn more than $50 million a year in advertising contracts.
