Aussie Scott voted chairman of player advisory council

The PAC advises and consults with the Policy Board and PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan on issues affecting the US-based circuit.

The 42-year-old will serve as chairman for the rest of 2023 and also replace Charley Hoffman as one of the player directors on the PGA Tour Policy Board on January 1, 2024, serving a three-year term.

When Scott replaces Hoffman on the Policy Board, he and fellow player directors Peter Malnati (2023-25), Rory McIlroy (2022-24) and Webb Simpson (2023-25) will appoint a fifth player director to serve a three-year term.

Scott joined the PGA Tour at the start of the 2003 season and has won 14 titles, including the 2004 Players Championship and 2013 Masters.

He was the first Australian to triumph at Augusta National and was ranked No.1 in the world for three months in 2014.
