PGA Tour veteran Adam Scott has been named to the tour’s Player Advisory Council, he told Sports Illustrated.
The 16 members of the council have yet to be announced for 2023, but Scott, 42, said he intends to help guide the PGA Tour’s future.
“I’m more interested in what the Tour is planning on doing with the Tour and not how we’re fighting a lawsuit,” Scott said, referring to the battle between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. “I could care less about that, to be honest; I’m more interested in what the future of the Tour looks like. I convinced myself that it was worth diving into the PAC to see what was going on.”
Scott, of Australia, was recruited by LIV Golf but chose to stick with the PGA Tour. He has 14 tour wins, including the 2013 Masters, and has $60 million in winnings.
Scott will bring a veteran’s perspective to the group.
“I don’t mind stirring the pot, if that needs to be stirred in conversation in those kinds of rooms,” Scott told Sports Illustrated. “Just to let everyone think a little more. Sometimes I feel like, we get pretty reactive to things these days, and it’s nice to think down the line a little bit. If we change this, what happens? And how soon will we then change it again.”
