framework agreement discussions regarding the PIF deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am honoured to represent the players of the PGA Tour,\u201d Woods, who is recovering from ankle surgery in April, said in a news release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a critical point for the Tour, and the players will do their best to make certain that any changes that are made in Tour operations are in the best interest of all Tour stakeholders, including fans, sponsors and players.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"adboxtop adsizes\">\n<p>Story continues below this ad<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The announcement comes nearly two months after the golf world was left stunned by the announcement of a framework agreement between the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia\u2019s Public Investment Fund, which controls LIV Golf.<\/p>\n<p>According to the PGA Tour, the players and Monahan will work together to amend the Policy Board\u2019s governing documents to make it clear that no major decision can be made without the involvement and approval of the player directors.<\/p>\n<p>The Tour also said the Player Directors\u2019 Special Advisor, Colin Neville, will be fully aware of negotiations regarding the agreement with PIF and provided any information he requests for him to carry out his duties on behalf of the players.<\/p>\n<p>Among the many top players who joined together to express support for the changes are world number one Scottie Scheffler, reigning Masters champion Jon Rahm, Japan\u2019s Hideki Matsuyama as well as Australians Jason Day and Adam
