Jordan Spieth on Wednesday, July 12, slammed PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan. The golfer stated that the official had lost his confidence and would have to work to rebuild it. His comments came in light of recent developments in the PGAT x PIF merger deal. Then, PGA Tour star Hunter Mahan came out to support the comments.
Mahan revealed that he and his co-stars were “done” with Jay Monahan. The golfer, who appears to be against the PIF deal, also called for the commissioner to be removed. It’s worth noting that the harsh criticism of Monahan comes as the US circuit continues to keep its players in the dark about its latest deal.
In support of Jordan Spieth’s ‘distrustful’ comment on Jay Monahan, Hunter Mahan tweeted:
“The players are done with him, except I’m not what the process is to eliminate him. Great time for the players to find real representation.”
Jordan Spieth slams PGA Tour commissioner Guy Monahan
Jordan Spieth made a powerful statement on Wednesday when he said Jay Monahan will have to work hard to rebuild players’ confidence. The American ace said Monahan will have to address the betrayal of trust he caused, when he returns from a “medical emergency.”
Speaking about the situation, Spieth said (via Golf Week):
“Yeah, quite a bit, based on the conversations I’ve had with the players, and I think he realizes that. I’m sure he’s preparing a plan to try to rebuild him.”
It is worth noting that many players have made similar criticisms in the recent past. Many, including John Rahm and Xander Schauffele, have questioned the lack of transparency in the PGA Tour-PIF deal. Despite many player meetings, players remain concerned about the many speculations surrounding the deal.
Commenting on the lack of transparency, Speth added:
“Honestly, we’re very clueless about it. You talk to a lot of the other guys, it was quite a shock from the start… I think Jay will be back on Monday and I’m sure he starts talking to you guys, maybe it goes further.
“But I don’t know if there was anything that concerned me. I just heard, if you mention one factor, I’ve probably heard yes and no on either side about every part of it.”
It is also worth noting that Monahan was not present at the last Senate hearing. Just like the fans, the players also hope to get some explanation about this soon.
