Commissioner's deal extended

Tim Finchem has signed on for one more year as PGA Tour commissioner, even though he plans to leave at the end of this year.

Finchem's contract was set to expire on June 1. The PGA Tour board recently gave him an extension until June 2017 that he said would allow him more time to work on projects to develop more structure to the worldwide nature of golf.

"The length of the contract is really a placeholder," Finchem said at the Dell Match Play on Sunday. "I wouldn't anticipate staying that long."
