PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Florida — The end of the year is a time for reflection. PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan did that from his office at PGA TOUR headquarters, discussing 2020 and what’s ahead in the New Year.
This was a difficult year for all because of the coronavirus pandemic, but the TOUR was able to inspire its fans and lead professional sports back onto the playing field when it returned in June. And, despite 2020’s challenges, the TOUR was still able to generate $160 million for charity this year. It’s an accomplishment he said “we can take an incredible amount of pride in.”
Recreational golf also played an important role for so many, serving as a respite from the stresses of this difficult year.
Commissioner Monahan sat down with PGATOUR.COM to give his perspective on this year. He discussed how golf helped him cope with stress, why he kept his wristband from every event in the Return to Golf, what he missed most this year and why there’s reason for optimism about the future of golf.
