ESPN: Rory McIlroy to Replace Webb Simpson on PGA Tour Board amid LIV Contract Talks

Rory McIlroy is reportedly expected to return to the PGA Tour's policy board after resigning from his position as player director in November.

According to ESPN's Mark Schlabach, a vote on McIlroy's return to the board could come as early as this week, and if he is passed, he will replace current policy board player director Webb Simpson, who plans on stepping down before his two-year term ends in 2025.

McIlroy's reported return to the board comes at a pivotal time since the PGA Tour remains in talks with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund regarding a significant investment from the PIF and a potential merger with LIV Golf.
