- Story Text: 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 (August 1) 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.
The Player Directors will have full transparency and the authority to approve - or to decline to approve - any potential changes to the Tour as part of the framework agreement discussions regarding the PIF deal.
