The PGA Tour announced the formation of a new role for golf icon Tiger Woods and the 15-time major winner couldn’t be happier about it.

On Wednesday, the PGA Tour announced the establishment of the Future Competition Committee, aimed at refining its competitive model to provide greater value to fans. Woods, who has been a major part of the PGA Tour for years, will be the chair of the new committee.

“The PGA TOUR has established the Future Competition Committee, which will be tasked with defining the optimal competitive model that enhances the PGA TOUR’s value to fans, players and partners,” the PGA Tour announced in a statement today.

“PGA TOUR CEO Brian Rolapp announced the formation of the nine-member committee during his press conference Wednesday at East Lake Golf Club, the site of this week’s TOUR Championship.

“The committee, chaired by Tiger Woods, will undertake a comprehensive review of the current competitive model and shape the future of TOUR competition.”

Tiger Woods reacts

In a statement on his X page, Woods said he was “honored” to serve as the Chairman of the newly-formed committee. He offered his thanks to PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp and to the other committee members who will be joining him.

“Honored to serve as Chairman of the Future Competition Committee. This is about shaping the next era of the PGA TOUR — for our fans, players and partners. Thanks to @BrianRolapp for his vision and leadership, and grateful to the committee members for their willingness to participate,” Woods wrote.

Reaction from fans

While many fans were excited to see what Tiger Woods can do for the PGA Tour in a position with that level of leadership, others were more critical of what the PGA Tour should be doing in general:

“You could start by allowing the LIV guys the opportunity to compete. Imagine how many more viewers you would have with (Jon) Rahm and Bryson (Dechambeau) on the leaderboard,” one user remarked.

“Less no cut events, make them like the 3 sigs with cuts,” another suggestd.

“Phil Mickelson tried to modernize the sport for the future and got suspended and ostracized,” a third argued.

We’ll see if the PGA Tour actually listens to what Woods has to say.
