PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan has reached out to young Aussie golfer Jeffrey Guan who has been released from the Sydney Eye Hospital after being struck by an errant golf ball during a pro-am tournament at a course located a few hours drive south of Sydney.

The freak accident occurred late last month at the Catalina Golf Club at Bateman’s Bay and just a week after the 20-year-old made his PGA Tour debut in the ProCare Championship at Napa in California.

Despite being released from hospital and also no longer under constant medical supervision, there remains “no clear timeline” for Guan’s recovery.

Australian golf-related organisations – Golf Australia, Golf NSW and the PGA of Australia – continue to maintain close daily contact with Guan’s family, offering support as they navigate the challenges ahead.

Monahan was approached by GolfByTourMiss’ Aussie-born Bernie McGuire at St Andrews (See Bernie speaking with Monahan in photograph above & thanks to GolfFile.ie) during the recent Dunhill Links Championship where Monahan was making his first appearance as a player in the unique DP World Tour event.

“I heard the terrible news about Jeffrey and obviously our thoughts are with him and his family at this very difficult time,” said Monahan.

“It was such an unfortunate situation and we say our prayers and reassure Jeffrey that the Tour will be there for him and him on his road to recovery.

“I am aware the leading golf bodies in Australia are doing all they can for Jeffrey while with some of their officials were present last week inCanada at the  Presidents Cup, where I managed to spend time with them.“So, Jeffrey is very much in our thoughts.”

Very well said Jay and equally, Jeff is also in the thoughts of all those you play the ancient club-and-ball game.
