Brian Rolapp: From NFL to PGA Tour

The PGA Tour has announced the appointment of Brian Rolapp, former NFL executive, as its new CEO. The decision was unanimously supported by a committee including current Commissioner Jay Monahan and notable golfers. Rolapp will begin his role later this year as Monahan prepares for his departure in 2026.

The PGA Tour made waves this Tuesday by announcing Brian Rolapp as its new CEO. The appointment, supported by a committee featuring notable figures like Commissioner Jay Monahan and golfers Tiger Woods and Adam Scott, marks a significant transition for the organization.

Monahan, who announced his intention to step down by the end of 2026 after a decade at the helm, emphasized the importance of a seamless transition, expressing confidence in Rolapp's leadership capabilities.

Rolapp brings a wealth of experience from his tenure with the NFL, where he held prominent roles including COO of NFL Media and CEO of NFL Network. His move comes as the PGA Tour edges closer to resolving tensions with LIV Golf's Saudi backers, aiming to unite professional golf.
