Tiger Endorses New PGA CEO from NFL Roots LINK

There’s a new boss at PGA Tour HQ—and Tiger Woods is all in. The GOAT didn’t hold back in endorsing Brian Rolapp, who officially stepped in as CEO, replacing Jay Monahan. Woods called it “a win for players and fans,” and his enthusiasm wasn’t just polite golf speak.

Here’s why this matters:

• Rolapp comes from the NFL, where he was a power player—think EVP of NFL Media and CEO of the NFL Network. He helped engineer $110 billion in broadcast deals. That’s big-league clout.
  

• He’s never run a golf organization—but Tiger sees that as a good thing. “He brings a fresh perspective,” Woods wrote, adding that Rolapp has “a clear respect for the game.”
  

• Behind the scenes, Rolapp is seen as someone who knows how to grow an entertainment product. That’s exactly what the PGA Tour needs amid fractured fan bases and stalled LIV talks.

Woods even thanked Monahan for his contributions—classy as always—but made it clear this is a pivot point for pro golf. The tone? Hopeful but hungry.

And Rolapp? He seems ready. In his own statement, he said: “I believe deeply in the TOUR’s mission and its potential to grow even stronger.”

Bottom line: This isn’t just a title change—it’s the start of a new era, with Tiger’s full support behind it.
