Woods believes that the PGA Tour has every chance of negotiating a settlement with the Saudi-backed golf series but only if Norman steps away as boss.
Earlier this month, McIlroy was quoted saying that Norman should just, exit stage left.
Now, Woods has joined in the call and when he spoke at this weeks Hero World Challenge, he said:
“I think Greg has to go, first of all.
“And then obviously litigation against us and then our countersuit against them, those would then have to be at a stay as well.
“So then we can talk, we can all talk freely.”
He also appealed to the LIV Series to call off their legal action against the PGA Tour.
The decorated golfer also accused the LIV Tour of stirring animosity amongst golfers when they went after some of the big names in the sport such as Cameron Smith, Dustin Johnson, and Brooks Koepka, and handing them generous signing bonuses.
Next year, the LIV series is promising a 14-tournament super league.
“There’s a lot of animosity, especially from their leadership,” said Woods.
“And they want to be a validated tour with world ranking points and they’re buying up tours around the world and I don’t know what their end game is.
“It might be just being an official member of the golf ecosystem and being recognized with world ranking points. I think that’s what their intended goal is.
“You know, they’ve spent probably close to $2bn this year. Who’s to say they can’t spend $4bn or $5bn next year? We just don’t know. It’s an endless pit of money.
“But that doesn’t necessarily create legacies either. You want to compare yourself to [Ben] Hogan, you want to compare yourself to Snead, you want to compare yourself to [Jack] Nicklaus, you can’t do that over there, but you can on this Tour.”
Woods also added that he thinks it is impossible for both the LIV and the PGA to co-exist given the current set-up. “Not with their leadership, not with Greg there and his animosity towards the tour itself,” he said.
“I don’t see that happening. As Rory said - and I said it as well - I think Greg’s got to leave and then we can eventually, hopefully, have a stay between the two lawsuits and figure something out.
“But why would you change anything if you’ve got a lawsuit against you? They sued us first.”
“I think it has to start with leadership on their side,” Woods added. “Understanding that what is happening right now is not the best fit for the future for the whole game of golf.
“Now, what is the best way for our game to grow? It’s not this way. But granted, you need to have the two bodies come together. If one side has so much animosity, someone trying to destroy our tour, then how do you work with that?”
