PGA Tour members are voting now through April 14 to elect two co-chairmen for the Player Advisory Council.
Rickie Fowler, Maverick McNealy and Keith Mitchell were announced as candidates Tuesday, selected by the player directors.
The two top vote-getters will replace current player directors Peter Malnati and Webb Simpson on Jan. 1, 2026.
Beginning in 2026, only one PAC chairman will be elected each year to serve a four-year term on the PGA Tour Policy Board. In order to transition to the new process, the player who receives the most votes will become the PAC chairman and serve a four-year term, while the player with the second-most votes will be the PAC co-chair and serve a three-year term.
“In examining the governance process to better reflect the organizational changes made over the last several years, improved alignment has been a part of those discussions,” said Jay Monahan, PGA Tour commissioner. “These governance changes will improve year-to-year continuity among the six Player Directors and allow the Policy Board to make informed decisions more quickly and effectively.”
In addition to Malnati and Simpson, the other player directors are Patrick Cantlay, Adam Scott, Camilo Villegas and Tiger Woods.
