Jordan Spieth Replaces Rory McIlroy on PGA Tour Policy Board

Spieth's selection, effective immediately, follows McIlroy's resignation over time commitment and controversial Saudi agreement.

Jordan Spieth has been elected to serve the remainder of Rory McIlroy's term as a player director on the PGA Tour's policy board, which runs through the end of 2024.
McIlroy resigned last week, citing the time commitment and the PGA Tour's controversial agreement with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and the DP World Tour as factors.
Spieth's selection was voted on by the five other player directors: Tiger Woods, Patrick Cantlay, Charley Hoffman, Peter Malnati and Webb Simpson.
Spieth, 30, is a 13-time winner on the PGA Tour with major victories at the Masters (2015), U.S. Open (2015) and the Open Championship (2017).
McIlroy is expected to next appear at a TGL event in early January, while Spieth will next play at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, scheduled for Nov. 30-Dec. 3.
