CROMWELL, Conn. -- Fifteen-time major champion Tiger Woods made his first public appearance since his arrest in late March when he introduced CEO Brian Rolapp during a news conference Tuesday at TPC River Highlands.
Woods flew to Hartford, Connecticut, this week to attend a board meeting where significant changes to the PGA Tour's future competitive model were approved. He returned to the U.S. a couple of weeks ago after seeking treatment in Switzerland following his arrest on a DUI charge in Jupiter Island, Florida.
Woods, 50, was chairman of the Future Competition Committee, which did much of the groundwork for the changes that will take effect in 2028, including golfers playing in either a Championship Series or Challenger Series and a revamped postseason.
