NFL’s Brian Rolapp Named PGA Tour Enterprises CEO

Brian Rolapp is leaving his position as the NFL's chief media and business officer after 22 years to become the inaugural CEO of the PGA Tour's commercial division, PGA Tour Enterprises. Commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed Rolapp's departure, which follows a formal executive search initiated in December 2024. Rolapp, once considered a potential NFL commissioner, was instrumental in expanding the league’s media, digital, and sponsorship strategies. At the PGA Tour, he will work with Commissioner Jay Monahan as the organization manages its $1.5 billion investment from Strategic Sports Group and ongoing negotiations with Saudi-backed LIV Golf. The PGA Tour aims to strengthen its commercial and media operations amid growing competition in professional golf. Rolapp's exit leaves a key vacancy in the NFL, prompting a strategic realignment of its senior leadership.
