Woods called Dunne’s departure “surprising,” while Spieth said it’s a “false narrative” that Tour players have too much power.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Jordan Spieth pushed back on the idea that the player directors on the PGA Tour Policy Board now have too much power as the leaders try to shape what the new PGA Tour Enterprises will look like and how it might be impacted by investment from the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia.resigned on Monday in frustration over a lack of progress on a deal
In the aftermath of last year’s secret agreement, players pushed back against PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and the lack of information surrounding the agreement. Tiger Woods was added to the board, meaning six player directors, including Spieth, Adam Scott, Patrick Cantlay, Peter Malnati and Webb Simpson.
Dunne, along with chairman Ed Hirlihy was on the policy board of PGA Tour Inc. – not PGA Tour Enterprises – and that board was expanded to 14 members, six of whom are independent. But it was Dunne who first reached out to Yasir Al-Rumayyan last year, setting in motion the plan to end the lawsuits between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour as well as setting up a plan to bring the game back together in some form. Al-Rumayyan is the governor of the PIF, which backs LIV Golf.
