Just a few hours after Jay Monahan addressed the media for the first time since August, Xander Schauffele came out with an assessment doubtful of the commissioner’s ability to lead the PGA Tour going forward.
Schauffele, speaking at a press conference ahead of the Players Championship, did not hold back when asked whether Monahan is the “right person” to guide the Tour as it enters a new partnership with Strategic Sports Group and continues negotiations with the Saudi Public Investment Fund, which backs LIV Golf.
According to the Olympic gold medalist, Monahan has “a long way to go” before he fully regains the trust of the PGA Tour membership.
