Tiger Woods may have been absent from competitive action since April, but his involvement in the PGA Tour has been as strong as ever. In August, he joined the PGA Tour Policy Board as a Player Director - a move that came in the wake of the Tour’s shock merger agreement with the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) behind LIV Golf.
Before the Hero World Challenge, where he will make his first start since undergoing ankle surgery, Woods addressed his role and the circumstances that brought it about, admitting frustration at the lack of communication between the PGA Tour and its players over the deal that shocked golf.
