This week, the PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan is in the field to compete in the 2024 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. Ahead of the tournament, fans reacted to Jay Monahan's golf swing as he played a practice round with his partner Billy Horschel.

Alfred Dunhill Links Championship is a unique event on the DP World Tour where amateur golfers are paired with pros to compete in the 72-hole event. Despite having prominent names like Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm, and others in the field, the focus is on Monahan and Yasir Al-Rumayyan, who will play in the same group on day one.

During the practice round, NUCLRGOLF shared a video on their X (formerly Twitter) handle, showcasing Monahan's golf swing.

Reacting to this post, plenty of fans gave their opinion on his swing, with one fan commenting:

"About as good as his negotiating skills. Honestly. Lol," the fan wrote.
"He has to be Scratch," another added.
"Looks pretty good," a fan wrote.

A fan seemed to indulge in a technical analysis of Monahan's swing as they wrote:

"Honestly, for his age, it’s not bad. Left foot is way open to help him get through the ball. Common tip for seniors. However, weight transfer and balance aren’t the best, which is why his left foot is so open," a fan believed.

Some more fans voiced their opinions on the PGA Tour commissioner's swing, writing:

"It stinks!" a fan wrote.
"Powerless," another user commented.
