On Tuesday June 13, the day before the US Open, the circuit announced that Jay Monahan, 53, was “recovering from a medical problem” and that he was stepping down from his duties. The announcement came a week after Monahan surprised the sports world by striking a trade deal with the PIF, which funds LIV Golf.
Jay Monahan, situationAt the time, Monahan acknowledged that criticism was going to rain down, and also participated in a controversial meeting of players in Canada, during which some of them called for his resignation. In the weeks that followed, PGA Tour Director of Operations Ron Price and President Tyler Dennis jointly led the organization.
This Wednesday, when at the Detroit Golf Club ahead of this week's Rocket Mortgage Classic, Dennis and Price spoke to Sports Illustrated about the deal between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and Public Investment Fund (PIF) from Saudi Arabia, they were asked a question about the state of health of the PGA Tour boss.
"What we've communicated to our constituents is that Jay is fine - Dennis said -. We understand that he is recovering. The Monahan family has asked for their privacy and we continue to do so, and we've just respected that".

During Monahan's absence, very few details of the deal have been released. A five-page document surfaced on Monday detailing the sequel, which called for a new deal to be reached by the end of the year and included a non-solicitation agreement between the PGA Tour and the LIV. This agreement puts a brake on any recruitment efforts on the part of the LIV.
But the question of whether the LIV Golf will close in 2024 or later remains open. Monahan previously stated that he "couldn't envision a scenario where the LIV would exist at the same time as the PGA Tour.
In Wednesday's interview, Dennis and Price were asked if all the best players in the world would still compete on one circuit. “I think we have to rely on what has been announced. Working together in a unified way will be the best thing for the sport, for professional golf, and for the PGA Tour. »
No big announcement before the return of the big boss Jay Monahan. But the two leaders still revealed that the name of the new entity would change from “NewCo” to “PGA Tour Enterprises”. Dennis and Price added that "the PGA Tour is the undisputed leader of this entity" and that PIF President Yasir al-Rumayyan supported the idea.
