LOS ANGELES – PGA Tour executive vice president Tyler Dennis said Wednesday that the Tour’s priorities remain unchanged even with commissioner Jay Monahan currently sidelined because of an undisclosed medical situation.
The Tour released a short statement Tuesday saying that Monahan, 53, will step aside from the day-to-day operations while recuperating from a medical issue. The Tour did not provide any additional details about Monahan’s condition. Dennis said Wednesday there was no further update on Monahan’s status.
Dennis, along with chief operating officer Ron Price, will fill Monahan’s duties in the interim.
It’s been a tumultuous period for Monahan and the Tour, which last week announced that it had entered into a partnership with Saudi Arabia and the DP World Tour to create a new for-profit company that will oversee the Tour’s commercial interests.
