Rory McIlroy confirmed this week that he will not be returning as a member of the PGA Tour Player Board after receiving pushback from some members.
Rory McIlroy will not return to the PGA Tour Players Board as initially expected after he said the possibility of his return made some of the members feel 'uncomfortable.' It was reported last month that McIlroy would return to the board as a player director, months after his shocking resignation from the position citing 'personal and professional commitments.
But McIlroy confirmed this week that the move back on the board isn’t happening. 'I think with the way it happened, I think it opened up some old wounds and scar tissue from things that have happened before,' he said ahead of the Wells Fargo Championship, via ESPN. 'I think there was a subset of people on the board that were maybe uncomfortable with me coming back on for some reason.
While the deal with PIF was not finalized, the PGA Tour instead took on Strategic Sports Group as a minority investor in a deal that could be worth as much as $3 billion. 'I put my hand up to help, and it was, I wouldn’t say it was rejected, it was a complicated process to get through to put me back on there,' McIlroy added. 'So that’s all fine, no hard feelings, and we’ll all move on.' The Associated Press contributed to this report.
