Monahan to step down as PGA Tour commissioner
PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan will step down at the end of his contract in 2026, the tour confirmed (Richard HEATHCOTE) PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan will step down when his contract ends next year, the tour announced in a statement on Tuesday. Monahan, who replaced predecessor Tim Finchem in 2017, will gradually hand over his day-to-day responsibilities to newly appointed chief executive Brian Rolapp. Advertisement Rolapp joins the tour after two decades with the National Football League, where he recently served as chief media and business officer. "A year ago, I informed our boards that upon completing a decade as Commissioner, I would step down from my role at the end of 2026," Monahan said. "Since then, we've worked together to identify a leader who can build on our momentum and develop a process that ensures a smooth transition. "We've found exactly the right leader in Brian Rolapp, and I'm excited to support him as he transitions from the NFL into his new role leading the PGA Tour." Advertisement Monahan will depart his role after a turbulent final few years of his tenure, which saw golf erupt into a virtual civil war with the rise of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf circuit. A staunch critic of LIV, Monahan infuriated many players after it emerged the PGA Tour had secretly brokered an agreement with LIV to form a partnership with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), which bankrolls LIV. Negotiations aimed at a final agreement between the PGA Tour and LIV are ongoing. Speaking at a press conference ahead of this week's Travelers Championship, incoming chief executive Rolapp said he hoped to unify the sport. Advertisement "I think the fans have been pretty clear," Rolapp said. "They want to see the best golfers competing against each other. I agree with that. "When it comes to the situation with LIV, I think that's a complex situation that's probably something I should learn more about before I speak. "But I will say my focus is on growing the Tour, making it better, and really moving on from the position of strength that it has." rcw/jc

Club World Cup gets massive security upgrade after chaotic incident that led to dozens of arrests
Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, will have a massive police presence throughout the remainder of the Club World Cup this month, as the city looks to avoid a repeat of the near-deadly incident that resulted in 26 arrests last year. The 2024 Copa America final saw a swarm of ticketless fans rush the gates for a match between Argentina and Colombia, leaving fans terrified and bloodied as security struggled to contain the crush, as they attempted to break in. Videos showed some fans trying to climb through air vents to gain entry. Police had to lift distressed children over barriers to avoid them being crushed, while elsewhere officers tackled to the ground the ticketless fans they could catch in a forlorn attempt to keep the hoards at bay. But things are different this summer. "We've put extensive measures in place to protect fans, players and staff," Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said before the tournament. "The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office is leading all security efforts for this global event." Changes made over the past year mean fans for this tournament must pass through three separate checkpoints that enclose the entire campus before getting close to the stadium. Steel fencing is set up around the perimeter. First up is a ticket check at temporary gates, taking up large parts of the parking lot where tailgate parties might usually take place. Then comes another airport-style screening under tents where bags are checked by X-ray machines. Even flags need to be approved. Fans were able to get much closer to the stadium before checkpoints at the Copa America. "When I was at the final, the security guards just opened the gate and started letting people through," Edison Negron, a Boca Juniors fan from Puerto Rico, told The Associated Press when describing the scenes as fans crushed against the barriers last year. Miami-Dade County said at the time that a full review would be conducted and that the scenes "cannot happen again." "There will be a significant law enforcement and security footprint in and around the stadium to ensure public safety for all the events," Det. Argemis Colome told the AP, while adding that social media was being monitored prior to matches. Preparations have included special training for a rapid-deployment force as part of a multi-agency response to potential crowd trouble. "If things go south, we get ready for civil unrest and unruly fans," the sheriff's office said in a social media post. A large police presence has been evident at both games played at Hard Rock so far — Saturday's tournament opener when a crowd of more than 60,000 watched Inter Miami vs. Al Ahly and Monday's match between Boca Juniors and Benfica in front of nearly 56,000. Patrol cars have been stationed along the interstate outside of the stadium and, within the grounds, officers equipped with face shields and protective clothing are on patrol. FIFA said it had worked closely with stadium officials, state and federal agencies "to ensure a robust security presence."
