Under-fire PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan has temporarily stepped down from his position due to an unspecified “medical situation”.
Monahan has been under huge scrutiny since signing a merger deal with the controversial breakaway LIV Golf tour. His decision has rocked the world of golf, which had previously been divided between the two warring factions.
PGA Tour professionals have accused Monahan of betrayal after the executive failed to consult them over the deal. The 53-year-old American, who faced calls to resign, is now handing over the reins to two colleagues for a period of time to recover from a personal medical problem.
