As Justin Thomas gears up for the Wyndham Championship, his last chance to play his way into this season's FedExCup Playoffs, he had another pressing topic to discuss during his pre-tournament media availability Tuesday at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Shortly before Thomas stepped up to the microphone, Tiger Woods was announced by the PGA Tour as its sixth player director on its policy board, joining Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay, Webb Simpson, Charley Hoffman and Peter Malnati on a board that also normally includes six independent directors, though there is currently a vacant seat left by former AT&T chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson, who resigned from his board position last month.
