India, June 17 -- The PGA Tour on Tuesday announced Brian Rolapp as its new chief executive officer (CEO). The top NFL executive is set to take on the role this summer as Commissioner Jay Monahan will transition his day-to-day responsibilities, according to a press release.

The PGA TOUR CEO Search Committee, featuring Monahan and golfers Tiger Woods and Adam Scott, unanimously recommended Rolapp for the role.

Monahan said that he informed the Board last year about his decision to step down from his role in 2026, when he completes a decade as the Commissioner.

"We've found exactly the right leader in Brian Rolapp, and I'm excited to support him as he transitions from the NFL into his new role leading the PGA TOUR," Monahan added.
