There will be some familiar (and some fresh) faces on the PGA Tour Player Advisory Council for the 2025 season.
The 16 players have announced the Tour who will form a PAC on Tuesday. Comprised of professionals from various sections of last year’s FedEx Cup standings, the roster includes several top players returning for another season in the PAC, as well as four newcomers. The PAC advises the PGA Tour Policy Council and Commissioner Jay Monahan on issues affecting the Tour. Last year, the PAC made several recommendations that included optimizing field sizes, adjusting FedEx Cup point allocations and changing the PGA Tour eligibility system.
Here are the golfers participating in this year’s PAC:
- Scottie Scheffler
- Justin Thomas
- Rickie Fowler
- Max Homa
- Sam Burns
- Brian Harman
- Gary Woodland
- Brandt Snedeker
- Kevin Kisner
- Charley Hoffman
- Maverick McNealy
- Keith Mitchell
- Seamus power
- Max McGreavy
- Eric Cole
- Trevor Cone
Cone, Cole, McGreavy and Woodland are serving on the PAC for the first time in their careers. Scheffler, Thomas, Burns, Homa, Harman, Power, McNealy and Mitchell return from last year’s PAC.
Nick Hardy, Mackenzie Hughes, Lanto Griffin, Adam Schenk, Nick Taylor, Kevin Streelman, Josh Teater and Camilo Villegas did not return after serving last year. Villegas is now the director of players for the political council.
The PAC will elect a chair at a later date.
The news comes the same day as Thomas sent a letter to other players asking them to be more open to helping the media by providing greater access and insight. This includes mid-round interviews, being on the mic during the round, etc.
“The more I watch documentaries and specials on streaming services about other sports, the more I realize that the main reason I love them so much is the access they provide and the insight the players give me; fan of them and their craft,” Thomas wrote. “I wasn’t interested in supporting specific players, teams or coaches before watching a few programs and matches. But the way some of them show their cards and how they handle everything makes me an even bigger fan.
“I’m sure many of us think TV shows can be better, so let’s help them do that.”
Thomas was previously against turning on the microphone during the round, but he changed his mind on the matter. He wore an earpiece during the second round of the 2023 Masters, and in recent months he has been walking and talking around the course of the Hero World Challenge and Sentry competitions.
After being elected to the PAC for the second year in a row, Thomas will have another opportunity to help shape the future look of the Tour.
