PGA Tour announces news concerning commissioner Jay Monahan

“Jay Monahan informed the PGA TOUR Policy Board that he is recuperating from a medical situation,” the statement said. “The Board fully supports Jay and appreciates everyone respecting his privacy.

“During Jay’s absence, Ron Price, Chief Operating Officer, and Tyler Dennis, Executive Vice President & President, PGA TOUR, will lead the day-to-day operations of the PGA TOUR with the assistance of the great team Jay has built, ensuring seamless continuity. We will provide further updates as appropriate.”

The announcement comes days ahead of the start of the U.S. Open at The Los Angeles Country Club. Perhaps more related, the news comes exactly a week after the stunning revelation that the PGA Tour would be merging with rival LIV Golf.

Monahan was raked over the coals after the announcement. He was called out for his blatant hypocrisy of joining forces with a group he bashed while claiming moral superiority. One particular old video clip of Monahan went viral after the announcement.

The last week was probably as difficult of a week as Monahan ever experienced in his life.
