Golf chief axed by PGA of America after Rory McIlroy abuse controversy and car crash Ryder Cup interview

The PGA of America has removed its golf chief from his position following two major controversies: an incident involving abuse directed at Rory McIlroy and a widely criticized interview conducted during a car journey at the Ryder Cup. The official had been elected as PGA President in 2024 but was increasingly sidelined after his tenure was overshadowed by the fallout from last year's Ryder Cup. The controversies ultimately led to his dismissal from the top role in American golf administration.
