Tiger Woods, Pga Tour launched in another chaos with the last resignation

Mark Flaherty became the last member of the board of directors of the PGA Tour to resign, a week after Jimmy Dunne left a lack of progress with the golf peace talks.

Mark Flaherty became the last member of the PGA Tour Board to leave. Flaherty’s resignation was confirmed in a memo to members dated May 19 by PGA Tour president Jay Monahan, making him the second tour manager to step down from his position in the past week. Flaherty follows Rory McIlroy’s ally Jimmy Dunne out the door.

Dunne was one of the key architects of the June 6, 2023 framework agreement for Saudi Arabia’s PIF. He turned to Yasir Al-Rumayyan, a liv-golf dibin for whatSApp, and met a Saudi businessman who was influential at a series of secret meetings around the world.

This was a step that raised many famous golf players, including 15 times the main Tiger Woods. Woods joined the policy committee in August and warned Monahan and other officials that such an agreement would never be struck again without the committee members’ prior consent.

Little progress appears to be being made in negotiating peace between the two parties. Dan implies it in a resignation disclosed before the PGA championship last week.

He stated that his role was “completely extra” and received a cold shoulder from other players, but he seems to be angry at the fact that the agreement was clearly concluded. is. Woods denied that and said he was surprised by Dunn’s decision.

Jordan Spieth also spoke out against Dunn’s claims. McIlroy, 35, lamented the loss of Dunn after his attempts to join the board and move negotiations forward were thwarted.

“Jimmy was basically the link, the nexus, between the PGA Tour and the PIF,” McIlroy said. “It’s really unfortunate that he hasn’t been involved in the last few months and I think that’s part of why everything is stalled right now.”

McIlroy said his hopes have never been lower that an agreement could be reached between the PGA Tour and PIF.

Flaherty made no mention of the meeting with LIV in his resignation letter. His participation in the board of directors is previously dated to the arrival of LIV.

Four and a half years later, he wrote: “I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Commissioner Monakhan and President [ED] Hurli for their leadership in the management of a commercial program and prosperous product; He is the one who constantly favors our fans, players, titles, media, tournaments, marketing partners and volunteers. “I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to the dedicated staff of the PGA Tour who work tirelessly to support the Board of Directors and ensure that our events run flawlessly each week, delivering a superior product to the golf world.
