In a statement released by the PGA Tour, Monahan said his health "has improved dramatically".

He stepped back just a week after the PGA Tour announced a shock merger with Saudi Arabia-backed rival LIV Golf.

That move led to him being criticised by players on the PGA Tour, who said they had been kept in the dark over the merger. Open champion Cameron Smith said he thought the announcement was "a joke".

Monahan then faced calls to resign at an "intense and heated" players' meeting.

In a statement confirming his return, Monahan said he was "eager to engage with each of you - as well as our players, partners, fans and our PGA Tour family - to address any questions and protect the game we treasure".

A US Senate panel is meeting next week to discuss the merger, after saying the "PGA Tour's sudden and drastic reversal of position concerning LIV Golf raises serious questions".

That hearing will take place before Monahan's return date.
