The PGA Tour is currently undergoing significant negotiations involving high-profile players and officials in response to its recent challenges and controversies. Tiger Woods has been designated as the only player on a five-member subcommittee tasked with negotiating with the Public Investment Fund, the backers of LIV Golf. This committee also includes PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan and board chairman Joe Gorder. Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy, although not on the board, will serve on the PGA Tour's Transaction Subcommittee along with Joe Ogilvie, John Henry of Fenway Sports, Joe Gorder, Tiger Woods, and Adam Scott to negotiate with PIF. Additionally, McIlroy compared the potential PGA Tour-Saudi compromise to the Northern Ireland peace process of 1998, highlighting the gravity of the negotiations. Amid these talks, Woods reportedly voted against McIlroy's return to the PGA Tour board, signaling a soured relationship over differing views on the future of golf.

Here is the reality of the PGA Tour governance mess: Rory knows the PGA Tour lost. He fought as hard, and put as much of his own credibility on the line, as he could. He was willing to hold the line and be the face of the Tour hard-liners. The framework agreement blew it all up.
