Rory McIlroy resigned from his position on the PGA Tour Policy Board on Tuesday ahead of the Tour's final event of 2023,according to a New York Times report.
"Rory's resignation letter, which he sent to the full Board late this afternoon, clearly stated that the difficult decision was made due to professional and personal commitments," commissioner Jay Monahan wrote in an email to players on Tuesday obtained and shared by Ryan French.
McIlroy, 34, has been the Tour's most vocal advocate in the two years since Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and LIV Golf joined the scene and has also spent considerable time in leadership positions with the Tour. The four-time major champion was a member of the Player Advisory Council from 2019-21 and served as the PAC Chairman in 2021. For the last two years, he has been a Player Director on the Policy Board.
