PGA Tour members voting for PAC co-chairmen
March 18 - PGA Tour members are voting now through April 14 to elect two co-chairmen for the Player Advisory Council.
Rickie Fowler, Maverick McNealy and Keith Mitchell were announced as candidates Tuesday, selected by the player directors.
The two top vote-getters will replace current player directors Peter Malnati and Webb Simpson on Jan. 1, 2026.
Beginning in 2026, only one PAC chairman will be elected each year to serve a four-year term on the PGA Tour Policy Board. In order to transition to the new process, the player who receives the most votes will become the PAC chairman and serve a four-year term, while the player with the second-most votes will be the PAC co-chair and serve a three-year term.
"In examining the governance process to better reflect the organizational changes made over the last several years, improved alignment has been a part of those discussions," said Jay Monahan, PGA Tour commissioner. "These governance changes will improve year-to-year continuity among the six Player Directors and allow the Policy Board to make informed decisions more quickly and effectively."
In addition to Malnati and Simpson, the other player directors are Patrick Cantlay, Adam Scott, Camilo Villegas and Tiger Woods.

Jordan Spieth's verdict on Bryson DeChambeau saw two PGA Tour allies snubbed
Jordan Spieth is the only player in PGA Tour history to see two of his playing partners shoot a round of 59, but he was more in awe of one of Bryson DeChambeau's performances Jordan Spieth showered Bryson DeChambeau with praise after he delivered what he considers the best round of golf he's ever witnessed. But he snubbed two PGA Tour peers in the process. Spieth had a ringside seat to golfing magic as he played alongside Justin Thomas at the Sony Open in 2017, when Thomas spectacularly broke 60 with an eagle at the last hole. He was also present during Cameron Young's electrifying 11-under-par 59 in the third round of the Travelers Championship last year. Yet, it's DeChambeau's sensational performance at the BMW Championship in 2021 that left the biggest impression on the three-time major champion. DeChambeau dazzled at Caves Valley with a round score of 60, flirting with breaking into the 50s only to be denied by a six-foot miss on the final green. Asked about the best round he'd ever seen, Spieth told the media: "I would say Bryson that day because it was a par 72. That might be the answer on those three rounds. "I remember thinking both Cam and Justin were right in it at the beginning. There's definitely an argument for JT because he knew he needed eagle [on the final hole] and made a 15-foot slider. That's a little bit different. That was the most clutch of the three," reports the Mirror US. Despite winning the Masters and the US Open in 2015 and the Open Championship two years later, Spieth has found it difficult to regain his form in major championships in the years since. He is also still chasing his first PGA Tour win of the year as the Travelers Championship unfolds. Spieth, 31, finished 14th at the Masters in April and missed the cut at the PGA Championship. He also struggled at the US Open, finishing 23rd with a score of eight over par. However, he was not alone in finding the going tough at Oakmont Country Club, with several top players - including Justin Rose and Dustin Johnson - missing the cut. The tournament was won by JJ Spaun, who claimed his first major title with a score of one-under, highlighting the difficulty of the Pennsylvanian conditions. Speaking after his win, he said: "I never thought I would be here holding this trophy. I've always had aspirations and dreams but a few months ago I didn't know what my ceiling was and how good I could be, but I am just proud. "I have been resilient in my career and pushed through a lot of things and tried to be the best golfer I could be. I was happy to display that today at Oakmont. It was a dream weekend scenario on Father's Day, to have my two kids here is awesome and a cherry on top of a wonderful weekend."

Tommy Fleetwood reveals he'd be first in line to make key change at the Travelers
The English star flying at the Travelers and willing to take next step in kit choice Terrific Tommy Fleetwood sealed a special day at the Travelers with a nine-wood epic and admits he'll go even higher in the olf-fashioned club stakes if he is offered the chance. The English star is bang in contention for his first-ever PGA Tour title after a brilliant Friday at PDC River Highlands. Fleetwood roared to a back nine of 30 including two eagles to match pace with Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas at the halfway summit in Connecticut. The Ryder Cup hero finished the job with a magnificent moment as, after a loose drive hit a tree, he produced a glorious approach with the trusty nine-wood that he's had in the bag for the past couple of years. Fleetwood's use of the club has caught attention and been followed by peers and he said: 'I just sort of caught the right moment to hit a nine-wood. I had like 264 pin, but the minimum that I had to carry on the left was 240 something, so I knew if the nine-wood was turning, it was going to be fine. It came off perfect and then beautiful putt. 'Nine-wood I've had for two seasons now. This week, I don't have a four-iron in. Like four-iron and nine-wood go very similar distance, within five yards of each other, obviously very different performing clubs. "So it replaced the four-iron. My bag is always sort of changing. But I do feel like this week is a very good course for it. Four [head covers] and a putter so far. Getting more and more. I don't know, there's another season coming back next season, five-iron might be out. See what comes up next. 'No, I haven't been offered an 11-wood head yet, but believe me, if one comes out I'll be the first to try it.' Fleetwood's charge was stunning with the two eagles lightning up the afternoon and he added: 'I'm not sure I've had one for a while. So 13, wind was flickering off the right, I hit mini-driver off the tee, felt like it was the widest point. "Those crosswinds, you get around that point and you're obviously waiting a little bit and the wind goes from across to into to down and then 15, the tee shot there was unbelievable looking at it, and it pitched right into that upslope, and I was a bit gutted where it pitched and then chipped it in. Would have been happy walking off with two birdies, but two eagles was a big bonus.' Fleetwood's scoring belied the tricky conditions with he wind and he said: 'It was really tough, actually. "I think early on, you had to make sure you got your head around that it wasn't a very scorable day, especially on the front nine. I felt like there was a lot of tough holes, I scrambled really well. 'I guess this course does give you the opportunity to have a little stretch like I did. You can get on a roll like we've seen it in the past, but I don't think it was a day where you were really looking for that at all. "I'm very, very happy that it happened for me. 'There is a certain element of luck and a certain element of gusts involved and it was very tough. There was a ton of crosswinds all day and there's always an element of luck and timing involved in it. "All you can do is hit the shots. What I did really well was not let the wind overly dictate my swing. I sort of picked my shots well and hit my shots and took it from there. 'It's easy to try and do too much and I've definitely done that plenty of times before. I felt like I did a good job of the opposite really.'

Scott Scheffler Sr. replied to fan who demanded he 'move out the way' perfectly
Scottie Scheffler is aiming to defend his Travelers Championship title this weekend and his father, Scott, will be in attendance to offer his support in Connecticut As the Travelers Championship draws to a close this weekend, all eyes are on Scottie Scheffler as he aims to be the first in more than two decades to retain his title. And he's likely to have dad Scott by his side in Cromwell, Connecticut, as he chases yet another historic victory. Scheffler Sr. was right there cheering when his son triumphed over Tom Kim in last year's dramatic play-off at TPC River Highlands. The pair were locked at 22 under par before Scheffler Jr. clinched the crown with a par on the first play-off hole. However, amid the celebrations, a commotion involving Scheffler Sr. caught the attention of golf fans. But his dignified reaction to a confrontation with a disgruntled spectator revealed a possible source of his son's grace under pressure. Positioned between a grandstand and a ShotLink tower to catch a glimpse of the final green, Scheffler Sr. unsurprisingly found himself in a spot coveted by fellow spectators. But a PGA Tour report (via The Mirror US) depicted the class of the man Scottie takes his cues from. That's when the ex-carpenter realised he was blocking the view for some. And it culminated in one fan frustratingly calling out Scott: "Hey, move out of the way!" In regards to what happened next, Scott's response defied expectations. Where many a sportsperson's parent might stand their ground, Scheffler Sr's modesty shone through and reflected the the kind poise his son usually displays around the greens. "Scott waved his hand to apologise and kneeled down, blocking his view in the process," read the account. "He laughed and shrugged, realising then that he didn't need to see what would happen. "He has watched a similar scene play out more than a few times in recent months. Those fans hadn't. They deserved to see it. The sound would tell the story anyway." Indeed, the crowd's roar did indeed tell him all he needed to know as Scheffler, who finished T7 at the US Open on Sunday, clinched the victory. Kim was a close second but fell short against a player in the prime of his career. Scheffler's win earned him the top prize of £2.7million and marked his sixth victory of 2024 at the time. Consequently, he became the first player on the PGA Tour to win six events before July since Arnold Palmer achieved the same feat back in 1962. The Texan is accustomed to exuding class in every aspect of his game. He carries himself with sophistication, as was recently demonstrated at the PGA Championship. It was there he had to play with a back-up driver after his was declared unfit for play. Nonetheless, he still managed to secure another major title and didn't make a bit of fuss over the entire ordeal. Scheffler Sr. displayed the same sense of style and confidence in a moment where he could have reacted very differently. No fuss, and not a hint of petulance, the same stoic mentality that is quickly earning his son a place among the golfing greats.
