Having spent the last 22 years with the NFL, Rolapp was seen by some as a potential successor to Roger Goodell whenever his tenure as commissioner ended. However, he said at his press conference on Tuesday that he couldn’t turn down the PGA Tour’s “unique” opportunity.

On Tuesday, the PGA Tour announced Brian Rolapp as its new CEO while also announcing Jay Monahan would step down at the end of 2026.

Brian Rolapp attended Monday’s policy board meeting in Hartford and met with the players in the field during a mandatory 90-minute meeting Tuesday.
