Tiger Woods Joins PGA Tour's Policy Board as Player Director

After dominating PGA Tour for years and winning record-breaking 82 titles, Tiger Woods is getting ready to do some work behind the scenes. The golfing legend became the latest player director on the PGA Tour's Policy Board, joining his close friend Rory McIlroy. Woods’ appointment is a huge deal for active golfers because it gives them a bigger say in major decisions, and he said that he’s honored to represent the players of the PGA Tour. "This is a critical point for the Tour, and the players will do their best to make certain that any changes that are made in Tour operations are in the best interest of all Tour stakeholders, including fans, sponsors, and players," said Woods in a statement. The 47-year-old will be in pretty good company since PGA Tour's Policy Board also includes his friend Rory McIlroy, in addition to Patrick Cantlay, Charley Hoffman, Peter Malnati, and Webb Simpson. The PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan will have to consult the player directors before making any major decision in the future. This announcement comes just two months after the PGA Tour made a controversial decision to partner with the Saudi LIV Golf League. This merger came after a year of animosity between the two leagues following the launch of LIV Golf, which lured many top golfers to their side with lucrative prize funds.
