PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan is taking a leave of lack as he recovers from a medical condition, the company stated in a declaration late Tuesday.
“Jay Monahan informed the PGA Tour Policy Board that he is recuperating from a medical situation,” the trip stated in a declaration. “The board fully supports Jay and appreciates everyone respecting his privacy.”
The trip did not define the nature of his medical condition nor a schedule to return. It will offer additional updates “as appropriate,” the trip included.
The news of Monahan’s health issue comes at an important time. The PGA Tour and Saudi- backed league LIV Golf revealed recently their choice to combine company operations to produce a brand-new golf entity with cash from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.
The arrangement follows months of lawsuits and stress in between the golf companies, triggering doubts about whether the 2 sides can eventually manage a merger. Powerful DemocraticSen Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut opened an examination into the arrangement. Monahan himself has actually dealt with extreme criticism over the offer.
During Monahan’s lack, the trip stated executives Ron Rice and Tyler Dennis will lead the everyday operations.
The PGA Tour remains in Los Angeles for the U.S. Open, among the sport’s significant champions. It’s arranged to begin Thursday.
