The PGA TOUR has its new Commissioner with the organization’s Policy Board announcing the appointment of Jay Monahan to the position where he will take over on Jan. 1 with the retirement of Tim Finchem, who steps down after serving more than 22 years as the TOUR’s third Commissioner. Monahan has served as Deputy Commissioner since 2014 and added the additional title of COO to his resume earlier this year.
“Jay has proven himself to be an outstanding leader who has developed an intimate knowledge and understanding of the PGA TOUR and a clear vision for the future of the organization,” said Victor F. Ganzi, Chairman of the Policy Board. “He is highly respected among our members, staff, business partners and the golf industry as a whole. We are extremely fortunate to have someone of Jay’s caliber fully prepared to assume the role of Commissioner and lead the PGA TOUR’s exceptional executive team as it continues to build upon the remarkable success achieved under Tim’s leadership.”
“I am greatly honored by the trust the Policy Board has shown in me to succeed Tim Finchem as Commissioner,” Monahan said. “Under Tim’s leadership, the PGA TOUR has made remarkable progress, even in the most difficult economic times. We are now entering a very important time in our organization’s history, and I know our executive team and I will draw upon and be inspired by the invaluable experience of working with Tim as we take advantage of the extraordinary opportunities, as well as face the challenges, that are ahead for the TOUR.”
