Former world number one golfer Tiger Woods accepted an invitation to join the Policy Board of the organization that manages the top-ranked golf arena in the US.
“I am honored to represent our member players on the PGA Tour. This is an important time for the system….
Thank you, Special Envoy Monahan, for acknowledging and responding to the concerns within We are eager to work with you to make the right decisions,
for the benefit and best future for the PGA Tour and its stakeholders,” an announcement from the PGA Tour on August 1 quoted Woods as saying.
This document was issued one day after 41 PGA Tour golfers jointly sent a letter asking top management to put Woods in the development planning department, and immediately change management.
With the addition of Woods, the Policy Board, still headed by Monahan, will have six directors representing the golf industry,
five independent peers and one peer member from the American Professional Golf Association.
In the PGA Tour administrative apparatus, the Policy Board is in charge of making internal laws or regulations as well as orienting arena development. This department is being reformed because member golfers demand more transparency and stronger control, especially since the scandal “just a few minutes” before the PGA Tour announced the framework agreement in its joint business plan. with the Public Investment Fund (PIF) Saudi Arabia, on June 6. That day, many members became angry and raised their voices when meeting Monahan and demanded his resignation.
In the immediate future, the process of innovating the policy board will begin with amending the working regulations, which will be implemented by the group of players holding the position of director, including Woods, in coordination with Monahan to ensure that the final decision always has consensus. from them, including the project with the Saudi PIF.
The PGA Tour policy board is looking for someone to add to the group of independent directors after Randall Stephenson resigned last month. According to the Washington Post , Stephenson quit his job because he feared negative consequences when the PGA Tour joined hands with PIF Saudi. In addition to voluntary work with the PGA Tour, Stephenson is the Chairman of AT&T telecommunications group, which sponsors the Pebble Beach Pro-Am tournament in California with a bonus fund in February 2023 of nine million USD.
