Adam Scott balances his commitments on the PGA Tour board with the complexities of the ongoing LIV Golf saga. The PGA Tour's negotiations with Saudi backers and the potential implications for the future of professional golf are discussed.
Adam Scott made it back to Kapalua and returned to the top 20 in the world ranking, and it’s a wonder how he managed with so much on his plate. This coincided with his first full year on the PGA Tour board, and it was a lot.
