PGA Tour Commissioner, Jay Monahan, will be taking a leave of absence to focus on recuperating from a medical condition, according to a statement released by the organization on Tuesday. While no details have been given regarding the nature of Monahan’s condition, the PGA Tour assures the public that they fully support him and requests that his privacy be respected during this time. In the meantime, executives Ron Rice and Tyler Dennis will be managing the day-to-day operations of the organization.
This announcement comes at a pivotal moment for the PGA Tour, as it recently merged business operations with Saudi-backed league, LIV Golf, to create a new golf entity, with funds from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. The merger has elicited months of litigation and tension between the two organizations, leading to doubt about their ability to successfully join forces. Additionally, Democratic Senator, Richard Blumenthal, raised concerns over the merger and initiated an investigation.
Despite the challenges, both organizations are moving forward with the merger, confident in the decision’s potential. While Monahan’s absence may lead to further uncertainty, the PGA Tour remains committed to providing updates and moving forward with its many commitments, including the upcoming U.S. Open in Los Angeles.
