Tiger Woods celebra tras ganar el Masters de Augusta, el 14 de abril de 2019: ahora liderará un comité para mejorar el PGA Tour

Overview

  • The Future Competition Committee will conduct a top-to-bottom review aimed at strengthening the PGA Tour for fans, players and partners.
  • The panel includes six players—Woods, Patrick Cantlay, Adam Scott, Camilo Villegas, Maverick McNealy and Keith Mitchell—and three business advisers, including John Henry and Theo Epstein.
  • Rolapp said the review will cover the regular season, playoffs and offseason and be guided by principles of parity, scarcity and simplicity.
  • Woods told the Wall Street Journal that nothing is off the table, with possibilities such as fewer events, smaller fields and higher stakes under study.
  • No proposals or timetable have been announced, the 2026 schedule is already published, and Rolapp is about three weeks from formally starting as CEO as talks with Saudi Arabia’s PIF remain stalled.
