As professional golfers continue to express concerns about the PGA Tour’s deal with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf, Tiger Woods has joined the board of directors in a concession to player demands.
Under the new structure, which was announced Tuesday, the PGA Tour’s board will consist of six players, five independent directors, and the PGA of America director. Previously there were five players on the board, and Woods is the golfers’ choice for additional seat. A replacement for the seat that was once held by AT&T chairman Randall Stephenson, who resigned citing “serious concerns” about the deal, will be named soon.
