Monahan Starts Stint As PGA Tour Commissioner With Little Hoopla

Today is the first full business day as PGA Tour Commissioner for Jay Monahan, and how did he spend the day? Pretty much the same as other days leading up to Tim Finchem’s official New Year’s departure. There have been no big staff meetings, no mass emails to Tour employees and no hoopla marking the leadership change at the PGA Tour’s Ponte Vedra Beach HQ, according to the Tour. Instead, Monahan has spent the day in the office with a typical schedule of meetings and phone calls. Later in the week, he will leave for Hawaii and the SBS Tournament of Champions event at Kapalua.

Meanwhile, the WALL STREET JOURNAL looks at Monahan's mission to "rearrange the golf calendar to maximize attention on the sport."
