Major champions to contest PGA Tour PAC Chairman role for 2026

The PGA Tour has announced its 16-member Player Advisory Council (PAC) for 2026, with former major champions Adam Scott and Lucas Glover set to contest the role of PAC Chairman.

Scott, 45, the 2013 Masters champion, and Glover, 46, who won the 2009 US Open, have both been selected by the Player Directors to stand in the election, which will be decided by a vote of the Tour’s membership.

The PAC acts as a consultative body, reviewing and recommending policy changes to the PGA Tour Policy Board on behalf of players.

World No.1 Scottie Scheffler will return to the PAC after serving in 2025. 

Scheffler is fresh off a landmark victory at The American Express, where he claimed his 20th PGA Tour title in his first start of the 2026 season.

Four players will serve on the PAC for the first time in 2026: Glover, Hank Lebioda, Alex Noren and Neal Shipley. 

The quartet is joined by returning members Sam Burns, Brian Harman, Charley Hoffman, Max Homa, Max McGreevy, Scheffler, Justin Thomas and Gary Woodland.

The full 2026 Player Advisory Council is as follows:

Sam Burns
Corey Conners
Harris English
Lucas Glover
Brian Harman
Charley Hoffman
Max Homa
Hank Lebioda
Max McGreevy
Alex Noren
Scottie Scheffler
Adam Scott
Neal Shipley
Jordan Spieth
Justin Thomas
Gary Woodland

The winner of the PAC Chairman election will earn a four-year term on the PGA Tour Policy Board from 2027 to 2030. 

Scott currently serves on the board, with his existing term set to expire at the end of 2026.

Results of the PAC Chairman election, along with the council’s subcommittee assignments, will be announced at a later date.
