Two of professional golf's most powerful people will be among those tasked with leading the effort to reopen the U.S. economy.
PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and LPGA commissioner Michael Whan were among the 100-plus advisers named to a new council by President Donald Trump during Tuesday's press briefing. The advisory council, which includes executives from several major players in business, healthcare, professional sports and elected office, will assist the White House's coronavirus task force in shaping post-mitigation economic plans.
The group also includes other sports-league commissioners, including the NFL's Roger Goodell, NBA's Adam Silver and MLB's Rob Manfred.
