PGA Tour Announces 16-Player Player Advisory Council for 2025, Including Major Stars
The PGA Tour announced 16 players who will serve on the Player Advisory Council (PAC) for the 2025 season, including several of golf's biggest stars.
The PAC, which advises the Tour Policy Board and Commissioner Jay Monahan on Tour-related issues, includes both returning members and four newcomers. Their responsibilities include making recommendations on field sizes, FedEx Cup points allocation, and Tour eligibility systems.
The 2025 PAC members are:
- 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 join as first-time members, while eight players return from last year's council. The PAC will elect its chairman at a later date.
Coinciding with this announcement, Justin Thomas sent a letter to fellow players encouraging greater media accessibility, including mid-round interviews and wearing microphones during play. Thomas, who previously opposed being mic'd up, has recently embraced these initiatives, participating in walk-and-talks during recent tournaments and wearing an earpiece during the 2023 Masters.
As a second-year PAC member, Thomas will continue influencing the Tour's future direction while also participating in the TGL, a simulator golf league co-founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. His Atlanta Drive team faces the New York Golf Club as the league seeks to enhance its entertainment value and competitive appeal.
