The golf legend and Chairman of the Future Competition Committee took the stage at a press conference, introducing PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp and sharing his thoughts on the organization’s new competitive model set to kick off in 2028.

According to TMZ, the 50-year-old Woods looked pretty good but stayed on task and stayed away from his recent off-course troubles. He didn’t take any questions, as expected.
As Rolapp took over he said: “I think I speak for all of us when it’s good to see you back.”
Woods, who had stepped away from the game earlier this month to seek treatment at a center in Switzerland taking only a brief break to be with his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, after her breast cancer announcement.
Woods has been behind the scenes with the Tour on the future of golf which is coming with a bunch of changes, despite all the troubles and the impending legal proceedings.
In 2028, there will be a shorter season with a focus on bigger markets and prize money – it will be the best players facing each other.
