Just one week after announcing a merger that shocked the sporting world, PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan has stepped back from running the organization on a day-to-day basis. Monahan informed the board he was “recuperating from a medical situation,” the PGA announced in a brief press release. There was no indication about the severity of the condition or how long Monahan might be sidelined.
Ron Price, chief operating officer, and Tyler Dennis, executive vice president and president of the PGA Tour, will oversee the organization in Monahan’s absence.
