PGA Tour News: Tiger Woods Headed New Players Advisory Council Revealed

In a recent announcement, the PGA Tour has unveiled its 2024 Player Advisory Council (PAC), marking the beginning of the new season.

The PAC, consisting of 16 members, plays a crucial role in advising and consulting with the PGA Tour Policy Board and Commissioner Jay Monahan on matters impacting the traditional league. A notable inclusion in the council is golf legend Tiger Woods, who joins as one of the influential player directors.

The PAC Chairman position is contested between Kevin Streelman and Camilo Villegas, with the winner to be determined through an election concluding on February 27. The successful candidate will not only lead the PAC but also assume the role of a Player director on the PGA Tour Board of Directors, succeeding Jordan Spieth. Alongside Tiger Woods, other current Player directors include Adam Scott, Patrick Cantlay, Peter Malnati, and Webb Simpson.

Among the intriguing dynamics of the 2024 PAC is the addition of players Lanto Griffin and Grayson Murray. These two athletes were part of a group that raised questions about the Board of Directors and the Tiger Woods-led PAC, demanding a meeting with independent directors to discuss pertinent matters. Their involvement adds an element of anticipation regarding their collaboration within the group and potential contributions to the PGA Tour’s initiatives.

As the PAC takes shape for the 2024 season, notable players such as Brian Harman, Sam Burns, Max Homa, and others from the previous year’s council are set to reclaim their positions. The dynamics within the council, including the surprising inclusions and the history of player demands, create an intriguing narrative that golf enthusiasts will undoubtedly follow closely.
