NEW YORK – In a final election season edition, the PGA Tour transitions to a new commissioner, officials in New Orleans embrace a new team format, and the PGA of America sets the tone for what could be a sweeping schedule change.
Made Cut
End of an era. Although the transition had been pre-ordained for some time, PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem made it official on Monday when the policy board named Jay Monahan the circuit’s new front man starting on Jan. 1.
Finchem took over the Tour in 1994 and presided over unprecedented growth in purses and popularity.
