After Putting Jay Monahan in the Line of Fire, Ex-PGA Tour Star Forced to Clarify Remarks Made at Pebble Beach Event

The criticism of Jay Monahan in the golf world does not stop. Well, how will they? He’s bringing about changes in things not required, instead of focusing on important things. Remember when the fans called for Jay Monahan to resign in October when new changes were introduced for the 2026 PGA Tour season? Looks like it still has not stopped.

In one of the videos shared by NUCLR Golf on their official X account, Jay Monahan was spotted playing golf. Former PGA Tour star, Robert Damron was the one making announcements in the background. He said, I think he should be working more and not swinging golf clubs”.

While this was meant clearly as a joke from his side, it did not turn out to be very much so. As it turns out, the golf community is still very mad at Monahan. They went in full agreement with Damron and started dropping comments that suggested so. And they were unstoppable. Seeing the gravity of the situation, the 52-year-old PGA Tour professional knew he already was in too much trouble. What he did was retweet the post, and wrote, “I was joking.”

But well, he does not seem to be the only one making such comments. And guess what, the previous accusations were not even withdrawn as a joke.

Collin Morikawa grows frustrated with Jay Monahan and the merger delay

The highly anticipated merger in the golf world has been delayed, and as previously reported, it may be finalized before the 2024 Masters. Meanwhile, two-time major champion Collin Morikawa is growing frustrated with the ongoing delays and Jay Monahan’s actions. From June to December, a constant stream of memos has been sent to the pros.

Morikawa, amidst all the confusion and overwhelming information, tries to stay updated on the deal but admits he’s losing patience. While he hopes that “everything comes together” and players can get back to competing, he also pointed out the challenges pros have faced because of the merger. He described recent emails as “fluff” and stated he sees “no point in reading them.”

The 6-time PGA Tour winner believes the only way to resolve the LIV Golf-PGA Tour situation is for “deals to be made” and for players to simply “get back to playing golf.” Morikawa also expressed how much he misses competing alongside former PGA Tour pros, noting that the majors have been more enjoyable with everyone playing together.
