PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan followed up his attempted apology by continuing to publicly back his decision as the best route for golf’s future.

Jay Monahan was interviewed on the Golf Channel on Wednesday following the PGA Tour’s decision to merge with LIV Golf.Also in his interview, Monahan said he understands any criticism directed at him after the PGA Tour’s decision that reflected a stark pivot from his public comments and stances about LIV Golf since the rival association started events in June 2022.

The PGA Tour announced Tuesday that it agreed to a merger with LIV Golf and the European DP World Tour, with Monahan citing the decision at the time as one to overcome the sport’s friction and unify golf on a global scale. Jay Monahan, pictured in March 2023, apologized to families impacted by the 9/11 terrorist attacks in an interview on Golf Channel.The agreement between the Tour and LIV Golf also included a line about ending existing litigation between them, which emerged from a series of bitter conflicts that included some golfers — such as Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka — defecting from their Tour agreements for massive contracts.
