NFL Media’s Brian Rolapp Joins PGA Tour As CEO; Commissioner Jay Monahan To Shift To Board Role By 2026
Brian Rolapp, former Chief Media and Business Officer of the NFL, is joining the PGA Tour as CEO. The tour's commissioner, Jay Monahan, is stepping down.
Monahan previously said he had experienced anxiety-induced “mental and physical health challenges” due to responding to the Saudi-backed LIV tour coming for PGA players and creating the first true rival to the pro circuit. During his tenure, the NFL secured landmark media agreements with Amazon, CBS, ESPN/ABC, Fox, NBC, Netflix and YouTube, and also launched new platforms like NFL+ in a bid to expand the league’s digital reach. A CEO search committee established by the PGA Tour, which included Monahan, NFL owner Arthur Blank and players Tiger Woods and Adam Scott, unanimously recommended Rolapp to take over the top job.
