Tiger Woods has agreed to join the PGA Tour's Policy Board as a sixth player director, the U.S-based circuit said on Tuesday in a bid to restore players' trust in leadership following the deal it announced in June with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.
The move, which is part of new governance and transparency measures announced by the Tour that promises to give players more say in future decisions, will see 15-times major champion Woods join Patrick Cantlay, Charley Hoffman, Peter Malnati, Rory McIlroy and Webb Simpson on the board.
"I am committed to taking the necessary steps to restore any lost trust or confidence that occurred as a result of the surprise announcement of our Framework Agreement." "I am honoured to represent the players of the PGA Tour," Woods, who is recovering from ankle surgery in April, said in a news release.
The announcement comes nearly two months after the golf world was left stunned by the announcement of abetween the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which controls LIV Golf.
