Tiger Woods returned to the public spotlight Tuesday for the first time since being arrested after a rollover car crash in March, as he threw his support behind the PGA Tour’s newly approved schedule changes that will be implemented in 2028.
Woods, who hasn’t played any tournament golf this year, introduced PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp at the Travelers Championship as he broke down the tour’s new model and fielded questions from the media.
“Over the past eight months, the Future Competition Committee has spent a lot of time on a very important and fundamental question,” Woods said. “How do we build the strongest possible version of the PGA Tour?”
Woods is chairman of the aforementioned Future Competition Committee, which was created in August. The committee continued its work this spring temporarily without Woods, who stepped away from the public eye after his accident and arrest.
“This work was never about any one player or person,” Woods said. “It was about bringing together different perspectives, having honest, hard conversations, and thinking boldly about what is best for the game that we all love. It has been a privilege to work with all the committee members and especially my fellow player directors.
