ATLANTA — The first move by the PGA Tour’s new CEO is to put Tiger Woods in charge of a committee to study the competitive model.
Brian Rolapp held his first news conference since replacing Jay Monahan as the person in charge. Woods is chair of the nine-member “Future Competition Committee.”
It will have a blank canvas to look at the model. Rolapp says the idea is to uphold traditions without being bound by them. He says he wants what’s best to strengthen the tour. But when asked about LIV Golf, he felt the best players already are on the PGA Tour.
Boxing adding sex tests next
LOS ANGELES — The governing body for Olympic-style boxing will require sex testing for all fighters wishing to compete in the women’s division at its world championships next month.
World Boxing already had announced its plan to require competitors to undergo a polymerase chain reaction test or an equivalent genetic screening test to determine their sex at birth.
It announced Wednesday that the rules will be implemented ahead of the World Boxing Championships in Liverpool, England, in early September.
The tests identify the presence or absence of Y chromosome genetic material as the indicator of biological sex.
