McIlroy Abruptly Resigns From PGA Tour Policy Board

Rory McIlroy has abruptly resigned from the PGA Tour board. His decision comes as the tour is trying to finalize an agreement to create a new commercial enterprise involving Saudi Arabia’s national wealth fund. McIlroy has been the biggest voice opposing Saudi-funded LIV Golf. He has spent the last five years involved in tour business during some turbulent times. That includes dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic and most recently the threat and then partnership with Saudi’s national wealth fund. McIlroy was the first international player to serve on the policy board. He ends his season in Dubai this week on the European tour.
