PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan says the chucking of beer and water bottles at the Phoenix Open in February was "unacceptable".

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — You’re a golfer. You know how it is. You have the oddest sort of memory. You recall the holes you played and the shots you took like most people can remember their children’s middle names. Plus, the weather. Always the weather. At...

He will not be able to return to play on the top American men's golf circuit until he has clarified and explained his discussed comments. The PGA Tour, through its "commissioner", Jay Monahan, for the first time publicly addresses the story concerning Phil Mickelson, abandoned by some of his sponsors and at the center of the controversy due to the harsh statements addressed not only to the American green body but also to Saudi Arabia.

Ann Liguori talks to longtime golf journalist Mark Cannizzaro about Phil Mickelson, the Player Impact Program and transparency on tour.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH — The Players Championship boasts the best field in golf, but the player who dominated commissioner Jay Monahan’s press conference Tuesday is one who isn’t here. That player is Phil Mickelson, the six-time major champ and former TPC Sawgrass winner who should be a...

Success stories in sport often owe as much to the ineptitude of the vanquished as to the brilliance of the victor. When future generations of Tweeters analyze the past few years in golf, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan will be credited for deft backroom diplomacy in building crucial alliances both public (key players) and private (Chairman Ridley). Yet a thorough accounting should note the extent to which Monahan has benefitted from the bumbling of those pushing a Saudi-financed rival league, a mutiny of clowns that could make Bozo seem Churchillian by comparison.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said he hasn't spoken to Phil Mickelson since his explosive comments about the tour were published last month, but Monahan said it's a conversation that will have to take place before the six-time major champion returns to play. Mickelson isn't...

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The words sounded the way they usually do coming out of Jay Monahan’s mouth: as if they’d been plucked from a Public Relations textbook. They were delivered by the PGA Tour commissioner in careful, measured clauses and punctuated by long, attention-grabbing pauses. As is Monahan’s tradition, his responses contained the minimum amount of information needed to answer the questions, if they answered them at all.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Despite criticism from some of the PGA Tour’s top players, commissioner Jay Monahan said that he is “really proud” of the Player Impact Program and that the initiative is working as intended. The top 10 needle-movers were announced last week, with...

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – It’s not easy being the “guy” in any sport. Just ask MLB commissioner Rob Manfred (lockout) or the NFL’s Roger Goodell (gambling-related suspensions). It’s not all ball games and sunshine at the top. By comparison, Jay Monahan’s Tuesday could...
