On November 14, Rory McIlroy shockingly resigned from the PGA Tour Policy board. This news was revealed by Jay Monahan in a memo to the Tour players in which he thanked the Irishman for his dedication and commitment to the tour. In the memo, Monahan wrote, “Rory’s resignation letter, which he sent to the full board, clearly stated that the difficult decision was made due to professional and personal commitments.” 

Monahan also highlighted how during his time Rory made enough contributions to the league. “During his tenure, Rory’s insight has been instrumental in helping shape the success of the tour, and his willingness to thoughtfully voice his opinions has been especially impactful.” 

The shocking news presented a big opportunity for famous golf journalist Alan Shipnuck to comment upon it. Alan is known for his decades-old rivalry with golfer Phil Mickelson. Responding to the news of Rory McIlroy, Shipnuck immediately tweeted, “This was inevitable. Jay Monahan and Jimmy Dunne tore open Rory’s chest cavity, ripped out his heart, and stomped on it in Softspikes.”
