Rory McIlroy decided to resign from the PGA Tour Board a few days ago. His decision resulted in different reactions but also caused doubts about who could succeed him. Rory McIlroy was engaged on 'multiple sides' Therefore, it was difficult for him to focus only on golf and build a career in such a way.
In an interview with the media, Rory explained his decision and confirmed what many already knew. “I just think I’ve got a lot going on in my life between my golf game, my family, my growing investment portfolio, my involvement in TGL and I just felt like something had to give.
I just didn’t feel like I could commit the time and the energy into doing that."- Rory McIlroy said. However, if anyone had doubts, they were resolved yesterday. Namely, Rory McIlroy will be succeeded by Jordan Spieth, given that he was elected to the PGA Tour Policy Board.
Jay Monahan confirmed such information via social media. “With Rory McIlroy resigning from the PGA Tour Policy Board last week, per the PGA Tour Tournament Regulations, the five remaining Player Directors have elected Jordan Spieth to serve the remainder of Rory’s term which expires at the end of 2024."- Jay Monahan wrote on X.
