Lucas Glover Elected 2026 PGA Tour Player Advisory Council Chair

The longtime critic steps into governance to push for change from inside the room.

Overview

  • PAC chair election was announced by PGA TOUR Communications on February 18, with Glover slated to begin a four-year Policy Board term in 2027.
  • Glover accepted a 2026 PAC seat after previously declining about ten invitations, citing shoulder surgery in September 2025 and a desire to contribute more off-course.
  • The 16-member 2026 PAC blends veteran leaders such as Scottie Scheffler, Adam Scott, Justin Thomas, and Jordan Spieth with first-timers including Glover, Hank Lebioda, Alex Noren, and 23-year-old Neal Shipley.
  • He has been an outspoken critic of 2026 field-size reductions, calling pace-of-play justifications disingenuous, and has argued for harsher penalties on LIV golfers returning to the Tour.
  • EssentiallySports reports Glover won the chair in a vote over Adam Scott.
