Jay Monahan was appointed the new commissioner of the US PGA Tour on Monday by the group's policy board, taking over on January 1 when current commissioner Tim Finchem retires. Monahan, 47, has been the tour's deputy commissioner since 2014 and working for the tour in some fashion for the past eight years. "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 policy board chairman Victor Ganzi.
