Tiger Woods’ Stance on PGA Tour’s Proposed Retirement Program Emerges

It has been more than a year since Tiger Woods last competed professionally at the 2024 Open Championship. The 15-time major winner has no immediate plans to return to the sport anytime soon.

However, Tiger has taken on a new role in the PGA Tour, and it didn’t take him long to share his insight.

Last week, the PGA Tour announced a new Future Competition Committee. Its main objective is to enhance fan engagement and create a stronger connection between the regular season and the postseason.

The committee will be led by none other than Tiger Woods. Now, Woods has made his feelings clear on another PGA Tour proposal.

Tiger Woods Gives Green Light to PGA Tour

On Thursday morning, PGA Tour conducted an all-staff meeting that included new CEO Brian Rolapp. All staff members were informed about a new voluntary program.

As per Sports Business Journal’s Josh Carpenter, the package will be available to between 5-10% of the tour’s total staff. The estimated number is around 1,300 employees globally.

One of the goals of the proposed plan is to reallocate the PGA Tour’s resources so it can achieve its objectives. On his one-month anniversary as the new PGA Tour CEO, Rolapp has remained firm in his stance to bring change to the Tour.

Woods, who was in attendance, made his position clear by backing the new program, according to those present at the meeting.

Voluntary retirement programs may be new to the PGA Tour; however, the NFL offered similar packages to 200 employees last year. Rolapp also addressed Woods’ new Future Competitions Committee.

It’s fair to say Woods is pleased with the new CEO’s appointment. As Rolapp pushes to implement significant changes, one of the biggest talking points remains the future of the PGA Tour’s relationship with LIV Golf.

Rolapp previously shared that he has yet to meet with the Public Investment Fund (PIF) to discuss the partnership. Meanwhile, Tiger has much more to focus on in his personal life, as rumors continue to escalate about his potential wedding to Vanessa Trump.

Woods has yet to provide any update on his return to professional golf, despite TGL (TMRW Golf League) announcing a new season.
