Rory McIlroy Lands on PGA TOUR Subcommittee After Board Snub

Todd Lewis has added to the confusion with his most recent report on Rory McIlroy’s political positions.

After reports earlier in the week suggested a more fragmented relationship between Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy than onlookers would have expected, we heard that several of Rory’s contemporaries voted against him returning to the PGA Tour Policy Board.

The video/story has a thorough explanation of what the newly formed Transaction Subcommittee will do in trying to get a deal done between the @PGATOUR & PIF along with the significant figures on that subcommittee. It also includes insightful opinion from @chambleebrandel https://t.co/Iaw4bcEAST

It has now been reported that Rory will be part of a subcommittee called the PGA Tour’s Transaction Subcommittee. This subcommittee has a certain group of members at the table trying to finalize the deal with the PIF. The rest of the committee is made up of Jay Monahan, Joe Ogilvie, John Henry, Joe Gorder, Tiger Woods, and Adam Scott.

Many will be rightly confused; there is now a PGA Tour Policy Board that won’t take Rory back, as well as the PGA Tour Enterprises Board, the Strategic Sports Group who have made their investment into the PGA Tour, and now the PGA Tour Transaction Subcommittee, which sounds a bit made up.

You’d think the PIF would only negotiate with the dealmakers, not the lowly PGA Tour Pros, but they have already breezed past the imaginary deadlines we had expected, like the end of 2023 and then the Masters.

Rory put this behind him during the opening round at Quail Hollow, a former site of three successes for Rors. On Thursday, he opened with a four-under-par 67.
