PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan informed the PGA Tour Policy Board that he’s “recuperating from a medical situation.”
LOS ANGELES — A difficult time for Jay Monahan got ominously more complicated Tuesday.
“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 new entity that came out of the alliance, which for now is being called “NewCo,’’ has Monahan as CEO“Over the past two years, the PGA Tour has fought an intense and highly publicized battle as the Saudi Arabian PIF-backed LIV golf league attempted to ‘buy’ PGA Tour players and take over the game of golf in the United States and beyond, creating a fractured golf ecosystem and fomenting a heated divisiveness into the game,’’ Monahan wrote.
