Tiger Woods assisted in making important PGA Tour decisions
LIV Golf reportedly made their most extensive offer ever made to a player, and it was for Woods. But the player sincerely denied the alleged $700-800 million deal. That is how strong Woods stands for the PGA Tour. Similarly, the tour looks at him as more than just a player. Tiger Woods is and has always been the face of the PGA Tour. But according to Alan Shipnuck’s recent report, Woods is also a decision maker for the tour now.

Shipnuck reported that Woods is helping PGA shortlist the top players during the discussion. The reporter also claimed that the same process went by at Adare Manor – the 2022 JP McManus Pro-Am venue. He also continued to refer to Woods as a “de facto commissioner” for the PGA Tour. Shipnuck doubted if Woods was acting on his own or if he was getting “guidance from the real Commish” referring to Jay Monahan.
Fans react as Woods takes charge of the PGA Tour

Rename it the Tiger Tour!

He can't play much, but he still can compete, and I'm sure beating Greg Norman has a lot of appeal

Well, Tiger practically invented limited playing schedules and he hosts a limited field event…so I think he should be familiar with the desire of the players to not play 35 times per year in fields that include 75 random players that will barely keep their card.

Is it ideal that a billionaire is the de facto commissioner?
— Dermot Wickham (@HertsTimelord) August 16, 2022
Or is he giving the real commissioner guidance?
— Johnny Heavey (@JohnnyH1857) August 16, 2022
I mean, if I’m honest, I trust Tiger over anyone else on this. That may be ridiculous, but Tiger’s voice is the one I’d want loudest on the PGA Tour.

Woods has always been bold in his opinions, and fans love this attitude of the golfer. His fearless yet humble remarks have helped him gather much love from his admirers. And it will not be surprising if the PGA Tour soon appoints Woods for an official position within the tour!
