Tiger Woods has always been a game-changer when it comes to professional golf. It was way back in the late 90s that Woods changed how people perceived modern golf. As he went on to become one of the legends, the US golfer is once again looking to ring in some exclusive changes. Woods has recently been appointed as the chairman of the PGA Tour’s Future Competition Committee.

And looking at the blueprint proposed by the golfing legend, some pretty radical changes are coming in. Speaking about the future Tour schedule, Woods confirmed that the changes might come into effect from as early as 2027. However, he also spoke about a phased switch, which will be a more lengthy process. And that’s not all. Woods is also concerned about the timeline for when the golfing season will start.

One of the potential possibilities is that Woods might start after the Super Bowl. This will mean that more and more fans will be able to engage with the sport as no significant events are happening in the vicinity. Speaking about the same, the US golfer pointed out that during the time he was in his prime, there were no tournaments during the months of September and October. Even early November was avoided to refrain from a potential clash with other big sporting events. 

As the chairman, one of his biggest responsibilities is to mould the game in such a manner that fans feel more and more engaged with the sport. Speaking about how concerned he was about giving the fans what they want, Woods stated, “We’re trying to give the fans the best product we possibly can. The FCC has had multiple meetings and looked at so many different models regarding what we could do. It’s up to us to try and make it work, but we want the players’ opinions as well.”

Surely, it is evident that Woods is trying to make the sport fan-focused as much as possible. And while he is sparing a thought for the fans, his fans, too, are concerned about his current health conditions.
