Tiger Woods made headlines on Wednesday after PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp named him chair of a nine-member Future Competition Committee to redesign the tour’s competitive model.

The panel, six players and three business executives, including Boston Red Sox owner John Henry and baseball executive Theo Epstein, will pursue "significant change" to improve parity, meritocracy and fan engagement.

Woods said he felt honored after the decision and said it would shape the next era of golf. But on Thursday, Woods made another personal announcement.

Woods announced he will be partnering with Texas-based company Insperity, which provides human resources and administrative services to small and medium-sized businesses.

"We’re thrilled to officially welcome — @tigerwoods — our newest Brand Ambassador to the Insperity family! Together, we’re teeing up a new chapter, one that celebrates the power of partnership and purpose," the brand and Woods posted together on Instagram.

“Insperity’s commitment to helping businesses thrive and their focus on long-term growth resonate with my values and goals,” Woods expressed after the announcement. “It’s why I am thrilled to join forces with Insperity and appreciative of their strong support of TGR Foundation.”

As the brand ambassador, he will appear in campaigns. The multiyear agreement also directs corporate support to TGR Foundation initiatives, with Insperity acting as presenting or official sponsor for the Tiger Woods Invitational, Genesis Invitational, NEXUS Cup and Hero World Challenge.

“We are honored to welcome Tiger Woods to the Insperity family," CEO Paul J. Sarvadi said after the announcement. "Tiger's pursuit of excellence, innovative approach to both sport and business, and dedication to community align perfectly with Insperity’s mission to help businesses succeed so communities prosper.

"Together, we aim to inspire and support businesses in their journey to build lasting legacies,” he added.
