Potential Roger Goodell succssor leaves NFL, named new PGA Tour CEO

The PGA Tour just made a major power move by poaching NFL executive Brian Rolapp—who was once seen as a potential successor to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell—to become its new CEO. The timing is interesting, with the golf world focused on the U.S. Open, but this is bigger than tournament drama. Rolapp’s jump from football to golf signals a fresh direction for the PGA Tour as it navigates competition from LIV Golf and other challenges.
