The news comes after the announcement that the PGA Tour and DP World Tour were merging their commercial operations with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund
Commissioner Jay Monahan is "recuperating from a medical situation", the PGA Tour has announced.
A joint statement from Monahan and the PGA Tour's policy board was released on Tuesday evening.
It read: "Jay Monahan informed the PGA Tour Policy Board that he is recuperating from a medical situation. The Board fully supports Jay and appreciates everyone respecting his privacy.
"During Jay's absence, Ron Price, chief operating officer, and Tyler Dennis, executive vice president & president, PGA Tour, will lead the day-to-day operations of the PGA Tour with the assistance of the great team Jay has built, ensuring seamless continuity.
"We will provide further updates as appropriate."
The news came a week after the shock announcement that the PGA Tour and DP World Tour were merging their commercial operations with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), which bankrolls the breakaway LIV Golf League.
Monahan faced calls to resign at a 75-minute players' meeting which he described as "intense and certainly heated."
The 53-year-old accepted that he will be labelled a "hypocrite" for making the deal with the PIF but insisted the players who remained loyal to the PGA Tour - and in some cases turned down enormous pay-outs to join LIV - had made the right decision.
