Tiger Woods will chair a newly created PGA Tour committee charged with reshaping the competitive landscape in the United States. Brian Rolapp, the Tour's newly appointed chief executive, formed a future competition committee that also features Patrick Cantlay and Adam Scott. The committee will undertake a holistic relook of competition across regular season, post-season and off-season and will evaluate media products and sponsorship models. The stated aim is significant change rather than incremental adjustments, including season breaks and guarantees that top players appear at marquee events. Progress toward unifying the PGA Tour and the Saudi-backed LIV circuit remains slow, with rejected concession requests and prominent LIV players absent from the PGA Tour.
Tiger Woods will chair a newly created PGA Tour committee aimed at reshaping golf's competitive landscape in the US. But comments made by Brian Rolapp, the Tour's newly appointed chief executive, showed that unification between the sport's traditional ecosystem and the Saudi Arabianbacked LIV circuit is as distant as ever. Woods, who has not competed since the 2024 Open Championship because of injury, was the headline name when Rolapp addressed the media in Atlanta on the eve of the Tour Championship.
We're going to design the best professional golf competitive model in the world for the benefit of PGA Tour fans, players and their partners. It is aimed at a holistic relook of how we compete. That is inclusive of regular season, post-season and off-season. We're going to focus on the evolution of our competitive model and the corresponding media products and sponsorship elements and model of the entire sport.
