Tiger Woods Back In The Spotlight ... All Biz At PGA Event
Published
Tiger Woods was all smiles as he stood in front of a crowd of reporters on Tuesday to address new PGA Tour plans ... making his first speaking appearance since his March DUI arrest and rehab stint.
The golf legend and Chairman of the Future Competition Committee took the podium at a press conference minutes ago ... introducing PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp and sharing his thoughts on the organization's new competitive model slated to start in 2028.
50-year-old Woods looked pretty good ... but kept to the task at hand, and didn't dive into his off-course troubles of late. As expected, he didn't take any questions.
As Rolapp took over, he said, "I think I speak for all of us when it's glad to see you back."
Woods returned from Switzerland earlier this month after seeking treatment at a center in Switzerland ... only taking a brief break to be with his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, following her breast cancer announcement.
Despite all the troubles and impending legal proceedings, Woods has worked behind the scenes with the Tour on the future of golf ... which comes with a bunch of changes.
Starting in 2028, there will be a shorter season with an emphasis on bigger markets and prize money -- it'll be the best players facing off against each other.
