Report: PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan Gives Up Salary Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

Days after the PGA Tour canceled its events for at least the next two months, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan has decided to forgo his salary indefinitely during the break caused by the coronavirus, according to Golfweek's Eamon Lynch.

Per Golfweek, Monahan informed the Tour's board Thursday of the decision. In addition to Monahan, the commissioner's senior management team has agreed to a 25% salary cut until further notice.

Monahan was paid $3.9 million in 2017, per Golfweek, in what the publication notes was the last publicly available year of the Tour's tax filings.
