Finchem Not Sure How Much Longer He'll Stay Commissioner

NASSAU, Bahamas — PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem jokingly said he was relieved to see Tiger Woods still alive after reading such gloomy reports from his press conference in the Bahamas about his back issues. Finchem didn't come away with a feeling that Woods was finished.

As for his own future? That's equally vague.

Finchem's latest four-year contract will expire in June, which would complete 23 years as the commissioner. But even with a succession plan in place — he named Jay Monahan the deputy commissioner in March — it didn't sound as though Finchem was counting the days.
