Tiger Woods has joined the PGA Tour policy board for the first time in his 27 years on tour.
While limited in his appearances because of injuries from a February 2021 car crash, Woods remains the most powerful voice among players. He has never served on the Player Advisory Council or the PGA Tour policy board. But his opinions have always been sought — and often heard — in private with Monahan and his predecessor, Tim Finchem.
The tour said “player leaders” asked for certain steps to be taken immediately, and Monahan agreed. That starts with amending the board's governing documents to ensure no major decision can be made without prior involvement and approval of the players on the board. Under the agreement announced Tuesday, Neville will be kept abreast of negotiations on the framework agreement and given full access to documents as he represents the players.
Monahan said he was committed to restoring “any lost trust or confidence” from what he described as the surprise announcement on June 6. According to the, the sides have until Dec. 31 to reach a definitive deal, although that can be extended.
