Jordan Spieth replaces Rory McIlroy on PGA Tour board
PGA Tour Announces Jordan Spieth as Player Director
Jordan Spieth has been chosen to fill the role of player director on the PGA Tour’s policy board, taking over from Rory McIlroy. This exciting announcement was made by Commissioner Jay Monahan, who revealed that Spieth’s selection was voted on by the other player directors, including Tiger Woods and Webb Simpson.
“With Rory McIlroy resigning from the PGA Tour Policy Board last week, per the PGA Tour Tournament Regulations, the five remaining Player Directors have elected Jordan Spieth to serve the remainder of Rory’s term which expires at the end of 2024,” Monahan wrote to members, according to an email obtained by Golf Channel.
“Jordan has extensive experience with the Tour’s governance process, having served two years on the Player Advisory Council (2017-18) including PAC Chairman in 2018 and three years (2019-21) as a Player Director.”
McIlroy’s resignation was due to the time commitment and the impact of the PGA Tour’s cooperation with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. Spieth, a 13-time winner on the PGA Tour, brings a wealth of experience to the role, with major victories at the Masters, U.S. Open, and The Open Championship.
