Tiger Woods will become the sixth player director on the PGA Tour policy board as part of a new “transparency and governance measures” agreement that further expands player input into the decision-making process.
The policy board, which was increased from four to five player directors last year, now includes Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay, Webb Simpson, Charley Hoffman, Peter Malnati and Woods, along with five independent directors (the board is currently searching for a replacement of Randall Stephenson who resigned last month).
Stephenson told The Washington Post he resigned due to “serious concerns” about the circuit’s framework agreement with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia to create a for-profit entity alongside LIV Golf and the DP World Tour.
