A WD from the Genesis Invitational. A missed cut at the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open. Tiger Woods, unfortunately, hasn’t had the best of forms in 2024. But not to worry, as the legend of the game has now come face to face with a favorable move regardless of his recent poor form on the men’s circuit, courtesy of the PGA Tour Policy Board.

A meeting was already scheduled to take place on Tuesday, as per reports from Golf.com’s Sean Zak, when the PAC was to discuss the 48-year-old’s lifetime exemption into signature events. The writer himself came forward to confirm the decision taken by the Policy Board in favor of Woods as he shared a tweet on X, “During today’s meeting, PGA Tour Policy Board APPROVED a new Lifetime Achievement exemption category for Tiger Woods to access Signature Events. “

That’s not all there is to it. The PAC also brought in new changes to the elevated events on the circuit including the approval of a 72-player minimum field for the same. Moreover, the tournament is to also keep an alternate list to maintain the same number of athletes in the field in the case of a golfer pulling out or WD.
