The golf legend has offered his support to the commissioner in the middle of Saudi deal talk

Tiger Woods has become part of the board of the PGA Tour for the first time in his illustrious 27-year long career.

The move is a huge boost for the commissioner Jay Monahan as he aims to rebuild the tour’s structure amidst the controversial merge with LIV Golf, which has seen Saudi money become integral part of golf.

Woods will become the sixth player director and as such will have significant influence of decision.

It is the first time that players will outnumber independent members.

“I am honored to represent the players of the PGA Tour,” Woods said in a statement, his first public comments since the Saudi deal was announced. “This is a critical point for the tour, and the players will do their best to make certain that any changes that are made in tour operations are in the best interest of all tour stakeholders.”
