A report from SI has confirmed the PGA Tour are intent on having designated events without a cut.
Jay Monahan appears to be fully intent on ploughing ahead with the PGA Tour having no-cut designated events despite the wishes of Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus.
Per a report by SI’s Bob Harig, Monahan has told reporters that his preference would be to have ‘no-cut events’ despite accusations of hypocrisy from a certain tour and the blowback from their existing members.
According to Harig, Monahan spent a large portion of his time recently trying to win over the membership for the flagship events.
Monahan told the media:
“One of the things we’re working on for next year to make certain as it relates to cadence … is that there’s clear separation between designated events and our full‑field events and we get out of the position we’ve been in this year where we have a few isolated weeks.”
There is no denying that Woods – along with Rory McIlroy – have essentially re-shaped the North American circuit.
Woods, 47, who is now out of action after undergoing more surgery on his right ankle, has consistently stated his affection for having cuts.
The 15-time major champion holds the record for most consecutive cuts made. That number? 142.
The streak began way back in 1998 and he set the record at the 2003 Tour Championship.

Rory has re shaped something?? What would that be?? How many times has he won full field tournaments against all of the best players?? Maybe he’s won more on the DP tour, but really all he does is bitch and moan and try to be a White Tiger..Not gonna happen. He’s no better than Kopek when he’s healthy or several others..
Monahan is becoming an anchor of the PGA tour and should be relieved. Especially after his remarks about not doing anything about slow 5 1/2 hour slow rounds. Now he’s avoiding the suggestions from two of the biggest names in golf. I vote for remove and replace!
Jay monahan should be replaced with all those that did stand up for golfers on his team.
