Jordan Spieth has been chosen to finish out the rest of Rory McIlroy’s term as a member of the PGA Tour policy board, according to a statement by commissioner Jay Monahan (via NBC’s Rex Hoggard).
‘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,’ the statement read.
Spieth joins Patrick Cantlay, Charley Hoffmann, Peter Malnati, Webb Simpson, and Tiger Woods on the board. Hoffman will be replaced in 2024 by Adam Scott.
McIlroy announced last Wednesday that he’d be giving up his seat on the board amidst growing exasperation as LIV Golf and the PGA Tour work on a merger.
In answer to a question from Mail Sport about those commitments, McIlroy had said on Tuesday: ‘(It’s) not what I signed for whenever I went on the board.’
