Fans voice discontent, labeling the situation as hypocrisy in Jay Monahan’s medical leave
Amidst the commotion caused by Monahan’s medical leave, fans are not mincing their words when expressing their dissatisfaction. Many have voiced their frustration, labeling the timing as “Hypocrisy in an advanced stage.”
The commissioner’s absence just ahead of the highly anticipated US Open and amidst ongoing discussions regarding the proposed merger with Saudi Arabia’s PIF has raised eyebrows, prompting fans to question the underlying motives behind Monahan’s decision.
The PGA Tour, striving to maintain normalcy, has appointed chief operating officer Ron Price and executive vice president Tyler Dennis to oversee the day-to-day operations during Monahan’s absence.
While the exact details of Monahan’s condition remain undisclosed, Golf Channel reports that the policy board was provided with no additional information beyond what was stated in the official announcement. This lack of transparency has only fueled the speculation surrounding Monahan’s medical leave.
As fans eagerly await updates on Monahan’s condition, the timing of his departure from the commissioner role has cast a shadow over the upcoming US Open and the PGA Tour’s proposed alliance with Saudi Arabia’s PIF.
Notably, the tour is already under scrutiny from the Department of Justice’s antitrust probe, and the recent news of the U.S. Senate launching an investigation into the tour’s alliance has only added to the existing tension.
With Monahan’s anticipated presence at the upcoming Travelers Championship now uncertain, the golfing community remains on edge, questioning the future direction of the PGA Tour under such circumstances.
