(Reuters) - PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan ruled out his organisation creating its own rules on Wednesday, saying he is happy to leave that task to golf's two global governing bodies.

The rules of golf have been in the spotlight after new ones were introduced for 2019, with the biggest update in 50 years leading some players to being openly critical of and in some cases hostile towards certain tournament rulings.
