A new era of the PGA tour has begun, and the golf game will look very different at the end of next year.
The PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, announced Tuesday that he will leave the tour next year, and the best NFL executive Brian Rolapp was announced as CEO of the PGA tour.
The golf game has had a lot of speech in the last three years, particularly due to the LIV golf, which is funded by the Saudites.

More than two years have passed since both tours announced that they had been in negotiations, but nothing has materialized.
Rolapp, who was speculated that he assumed the role of Roger Goodell, admitted that he has “much to learn”, but the two -time older champion Xander Schauffele to Pak Gazette Digital shortly after the news that he is excited about what is yet to come.
“I think the search committee did a really exhaustive search to find the best candidate. Someone who works on the commercial side of the NFL for 22 years, seemed really excited about the opportunity,” Schauffele told Pak Gazette Digital. “See a lot of potential in the place where the tour can go, wants to hold on to tradition and legacy, but it is not really stuck in that way, too, if that makes sense. The NFL is constantly pressing its product, and I think someone with that mentality who enters always is something good.”
Schauffele’s feelings about Rolapp and tradition did not arrive by accident. Rolapp said in an open letter published on social networks that his “objective as CEO is to honor golf traditions, but not be too bound by them.”

“I feel honored to assume the role of CEO of the PGA Tour. Golf has one of the deepest stories and many of the most timeless traditions in all sports,” Rolapp said. “That story and traditions have inspired generations of players and fans, creating a game and a tour that millions throughout the world love. At the same time, professional golf is evolving, as well as the ways in which fans consume sports.
“In recent years, the tour has achieved significant progress to address these changes: from the creation of more opportunities for players to improve the competitive structure and improve the experience of fans. But there is still a significant work to be done, and the incredible opportunities continue. Fans in recent months, I felt to this potential with this potential with this potential. “
It will be a great change for Rolapp, two decades with a league of 32 team owners to an organization with almost 200 players operating independently.

“The players have the tour, it is their tour,” Rolapp said. “That said, and we talk a little about this at our players meeting, I think they know that what is good for fans is also good for the tour. Working in the sports business as long as I have done it, sometimes it is not so complicated. If you think the best for the fanatic, it is usually better for all those involved.
