Xander Schauffele: PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan has to earn back players' trust

PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan returns to his post Monday after a month-long absence, and he likely won’t be eased back into work.

Some of the Tour’s top players have some tough questions to ask.

Monahan was sidelined by an undisclosed medical situation a week after he stunned the golf world by announcing that the Tour had entered into an agreement with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia and the DP World Tour. The details of that arrangement are yet to be worked out, but the secretive nature of the framework agreement left players – even Tour policy board members – feeling blindsided.
