Disclosed online, the salary of PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan caused a reaction among Internet users who hold him responsible for not having been able to anticipate the flight of players to the LIV and then for having negotiated behind the players' backs a merger agreement with the circuit dissented after having criticized him so much.

So how much did Jay Monahan make in 2023?

A question to which the media Sportico answered by revealing that the boss of the PGA Tour received an amount of 23 million dollars. Yes, you read that correctly! 23 million dollars!

To establish this observation, it was necessary to examine the accounts of the commercial company PGA Tour Inc.

Only Scottie Scheffler has won more than him!

That total includes $12.1 million in bonuses, $2.5 million in estimated post-retirement benefits and $6.7 million based on outcomes after 2023.

Amounts to which must be added his annual base salary which amounts to $1,887,096, which is equivalent to a place in the top 80 of the PGA Tour earnings list in 2024!

Only one player has accumulated more than 23 million in 2023. It is world number 1 Scottie Scheffler.

With a bonus Burn-out

We understand that this could make observers cringe as is going through a major identity crisis with the departure of historic sponsors and declining audience figures.

The report covers the six-month periods preceding the announcement of a future merger with LIV in June 2023, and the 6 months that followed during which Monahan took a step back for several weeks after a subsequent burnout to criticism received for negotiating behind the players' backs.
