Brian Rolapp becomes new PGA Tour CEO: Monahan to remains till 2026

The PGA Tour is undergoing a major leadership transition: Brian Rolapp, a seasoned executive from the National Football League (NFL), has been named the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). He will oversee operations for both the PGA Tour and PGA Tour Enterprises. Current Commissioner Jay Monahan will gradually transfer responsibilities to Rolapp and remain in office through the end of 2026 to ensure a smooth handover. This move comes at a pivotal moment for the Tour, which faces challenges such as media rights negotiations and ongoing competition from the LIV Golf League.

Brian Rolapp Appointed PGA Tour CEO: A Visionary Leader

Rolapp brings over two decades of experience from the NFL, where he most recently served as Chief Media and Business Officer, shaping the league’s media and business strategy. Under his leadership, the NFL secured multi-billion-dollar media deals with partners such as ESPN, Amazon, and Netflix, generating more than $10 billion in annual revenue. His expertise in launching the digital platform NFL+ could prove especially influential for the PGA Tour, which is aiming to expand its digital footprint through platforms like PGA Tour Live. “I’m a passionate golfer and a fan of the PGA Tour,” Rolapp stated in an open letter. He also emphasized his commitment to fully understanding the complexities of professional golf in order to represent the interests of players, sponsors, and fans alike.

Jay Monahan’s Role During the Transition

Jay Monahan, who has served as PGA Tour Commissioner since 2017, has been at the center of attention in recent years—particularly due to his involvement in the controversial negotiations with the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), which finances the LIV Golf League. Although a framework agreement was announced in June 2023, a final deal has yet to be completed. Going forward, Monahan will focus on strategic duties as a member of the PGA Tour Policy Board and the PGA Tour Enterprises Board. “Brian Rolapp is the ideal choice for the next chapter of the PGA Tour,” Monahan said, noting that Rolapp’s experience would be critical in stabilizing the Tour and unlocking new revenue opportunities during a time of significant change.

The CEO Search: Tiger Woods Played a Key Role

Rolapp was unanimously selected by a search committee that included Monahan, Tiger Woods, and Adam Scott. “Brian’s appointment is a win for players, fans, and partners,” Woods said in a statement. As one of the Tour’s most influential figures, Woods praised Rolapp’s respect for the game and his fresh perspective. The PGA Tour faces several strategic priorities: its current media rights deals, which expire in 2030, will need to be renegotiated, and the integration of the Strategic Sports Group (SSG)—which has invested $1.5 billion—requires clear direction. Rolapp’s track record with the NFL suggests he is well-equipped to tackle these issues with vision and resolve.

Under Rolapp’s leadership, the Tour could strengthen its global presence through new media partnerships and digital innovation. His experience in monetizing sports rights may also help grow the Tour’s current annual revenue, which stands at approximately $2.3 billion. At the same time, he must carefully balance modernization with the sport’s rich traditions to maintain its loyal fan base. Close collaboration with Monahan during the transition phase will be essential to ensure continuity.

US Open 2025: Golf’s Richest Major Maintains Record Purse

Despite no increase to the overall prize fund, the US Open once again cements its status as the most lucrative of the four majors. The USGA confirmed that the 2025 edition at Oakmont carried a total purse of $21.5 million—matching last year’s figure, but still outpacing The Masters, The Open, and the PGA Championship.

With his dramatic victory sealed by a 20-meter birdie putt on the 72nd hole, JJ Spaun takes home a winner’s check of $4.3 million—equaling the sum Bryson DeChambeau earned for his triumph at Los Angeles Country Club in 2024.

While other majors have made incremental moves to boost their prize money, the US Open’s benchmark-setting purse continues to make it the financial pinnacle of major championship golf.

US Open 2025: JJ Spaun Wins US Open with 20-Meter Putt

The final day of the US Open 2025 was filled with high drama. Oakmont showed its teeth, causing the leaders to stumble and bringing unexpected contenders back into play, like JJ Spaun. Although he started the final round in second place, he was five over par after just six holes, and most had already written him off. But then came a rain delay that changed everything.

JJ Spaun Wins US Open 2025 with Incredible Back Nine

After the weather delay, Spaun returned with a monster putt on hole 12, sinking a 12-meter birdie and turning his round around. He had another birdie chance on 13, missed it, but capitalized with a great approach on 14. While his competitors were struggling to create birdie opportunities, Spaun bounced back from a bogey and reached the 17th with an eagle chance – he had birdied the hole in every previous round. He didn’t make the five-meter eagle putt, but a birdie was enough to take sole possession of the lead ahead of Robert MacIntyre, who was already in the clubhouse. On 18, all Spaun needed to do was play it safe – get on the green and two-putt to avoid a Monday playoff. But Spaun didn’t want to win his first major title by playing it safe. He drained a 20-meter putt for birdie to claim his first major in spectacular fashion. JJ Spaun wins the US Open 2025 at one under par in just his second appearance at the tournament.

“I thought it was a good thing having the delay,” the newly crowned champion said after the round. “It happened to me at the Players earlier this year where I was kind of struggling on the front nine. I had the lead going into Sunday, and we had a four-hour delay, I think. I ended up turning that round into a nice fight where I got myself into the playoff.”

He continued. “All I was thinking was – and even my whole team, my coach, my caddie, they were like, Oh, dude, this is exactly what we need. And it was. We went back out and capitalized on kind of — I changed my outfit. I’m like, I’m done wearing those clothes. I just needed to reset everything, kind of like start the whole routine over.”

Robert MacIntyre Finishes Second Despite Poor Start

Robert MacIntyre began the day seven shots off the lead, so the idea that he could win seemed far-fetched. “Obviously it didn’t get off to the best of starts,” he said.

“I was 2-over through 3 and then holed a lovely putt on 4, par-5 for eagle. That kind of settled me down. That got me into somewhat of a groove and back in the golf tournament.”

Then the back nine was just all about fighting. Obviously the rain delay. My previous rain delay comebacks haven’t been strong. Today was a day that I said to myself, Why not? Why not it be me today? When I was going round, and I just trusted myself, trusted my caddie Mike, trusted all the work that I’ve done, and we’re sitting here in the clubhouse nicely and just wait and see.”

He followed that up with a flawless back nine, carding two birdies to secure solo second place. And although you’d think the Scottish player would be used to this kind of weather, he says of himself that he’s “a fair-weather golfer now that I moved to the PGA Tour.”

While those two soared, Sam Burns and Adam Scott crashed. Between them, they shot a combined 17 over par on the final day, despite holding the lead early on.

Sam Burns in particular was a hot favorite at the start of the round, sitting at four under par. He lost three strokes on the front nine but still held the lead, even extending it to two shots with a birdie on 10. But then the momentum shifted, hard. A double bogey on 11 meant no player was under par anymore, and after a bogey on 12, Burns was tied with Adam Scott, opening the door for a dramatic showdown over the final nine holes. At that point, six players were within two shots, including Tyrrell Hatton and Viktor Hovland. Burns’ next double bogey on the 15th, after finding the bunker, effectively took him out of the title race.

Adam Scott fared no better after the rain delay. Following a bogey on 8, he played the back nine in six over par, including a double bogey on 16, where he struggled with the thick rough. Scott dropped to a tie for 12th, while Burns finished tied for 7th.

Scottie Scheffler: Calm and collected victory at the 2025 PGA Championship

Post author By Alexandra Caspers
Post date May 18, 2025

Scottie Scheffler wins his third major victory at the 2025 PGA Championship. The world No. 1 remained as calm and composed as he is known to be, even when Jon Rahm squeezed into the shared lead. But while Rahm missed crucial chances, Scheffler was unfazed and brought the title home.

Scottie Scheffler wins the 2025 PGA Championship

Scheffler opened all doors for his competitors. Drive after drive went too far left and missed the fairways. His lead, which was three strokes at the start of the final round, shrank. But Jon Rahm was the only one of his competitors who was able to take advantage of this. While Noren, Poston and Riley made mistakes themselves, Rahm holed three times for birdie in four holes and played himself into the shared lead.

But the Spaniard missed important opportunities on the second nine. He missed the birdie putt on 12 and 13, and at the same time Scheffler took the lead again with a birdie on the 10th. But Scheffler was unable to pull away, missing a birdie chance on the 11th hole. Rahm took a risk on the 15th to take advantage with a powerful eagle putt, but the putt went wide of the hole, leaving him a long back putt for birdie, which he was unable to convert.

In the end, Schefffler had the stronger nerves and played the back nine in his controlled manner. He holed out to win a shot on the 14th hole, despite landing in the bunker after his tee shot, earned himself a perfect birdie chance on the par-5 15th hole and a five-shot lead as Jon Rahm’s game collapsed on the green mile. After a bogey on the 16th, Rahm’s tee shot on the 17th, the toughest hole of the day, ended up in the water. The double bogey took him out of the race completely and Scheffler was able to make his own way through the Green Mile without any worries.

He also mastered the last three challenging holes with aplomb. When his tee shot on the 18th went off to the right, Scheffler was able to calmly allow himself an intermediate shot back onto the fairway, land on the green with the third and win easily despite a bogey.

Scheffler wins by five strokes ahead of Harris English, Davis Riley and Bryson DeChambeau. It is DeChambeau’s fifth top-six finish in the last six major tournaments. “It didn’t seem to go my way all week and I’m pretty disappointed. But this gives me fire in my belly and will make me fight even harder to win the US Open again this year.” There he will defend his title from 2024.

Jon Rahm is only tied eighth after a second double bogey on 18.

On the lower ranks of the PGA Championship

Rory McIlroy maintains his tied 47th place in the final round. He closes the weekend and the PGA Championship with a round of 72. He had an inconsistent round on Sunday and was on the spot, not what we are used to seeing from him at Quail Hollow.

“Book us flights”, pro texts wife while playing at the PGA Championship 2025

Sometimes things don’t go the way you want them to. For Adam Hadwin at the PGA Championship, for example. The Canadian started the round at two strokes over par, but quickly realized that it wasn’t his day. So quickly that he sent a text message to his wife in the middle of the round and asked her to book the return flights.

Jessica Hadwin, who shares high and lowlights of her relationship with the professional golfer on the platform X (formerly Twitter), also reported on this moment: “Just getting our daughter and myself all ready and headed out the door to the course,” she wrote. “My husband texting ‘book us flights’” She attached a reaction GIF of Jon Rahm.

PGA Championship 2025: Bad second round for Adam Hadwin

Adam Hadwin was already five strokes over par after nine holes in round 2, his chances of making the cut dwindling. However, a birdie on hole 11 did not herald a turnaround, followed by a further five bogeys and a round of 80. The decision to fly back was exactly the right one.

Kourtney Schenk, the wife of Adam Schenk, also a professional golfer, shared similar experiences with Jessica Hadwin in response: “They’re all the same lol sometimes Adam will have this conversation out loud with me while walking down a fairway. The looks are priceless.”

Over 80 percent green fee discount in St. Andrews – how does that work?

Post author By Alexandra Caspers
Post date April 24, 2025

Play the Old Course for just 42.50 pounds? The St. Andrews Links Trust has announced that a few selected golfers will be able to do just that.

St. Andrews: discounted green fees on the Old Course

Between May and October, there will be 179 tee times at reduced rates on links courses in St. Andrews. A round on the historic Old Course normally costs 340 pounds, but on May 21 there will be eleven tee times for just 42.50 pounds. The other courses in St. Andrews will also be offering big discounts during the summer months. The neighboring Castle course can be played on selected dates for 22.50 pounds instead of 180 pounds, a round on the Jubilee course costs 18.75 pounds instead of 150 pounds and a tee time on the Eden course is available for 9.50 pounds instead of 75 pounds. Playing all four courses saves a total of 87.5 percent.

The catch: these offers only apply to golfers from Scotland. The reduced tee times can only be booked with a Scottish zip code. Scottish golfers who want to take advantage of this offer must apply for the tee times via a lottery. For other dates there are further different criteria depending on the golf course, for example the offer is alternately available to members of the military, golfers with disabilities, women, families or members of the emergency services.

Drive Initiative of the St. Andrews Links Trust

The drive is an initiative by the St. Andrews Links Trust to give more golfers access to its iconic golf courses. The aim is to promote participation in golf by encouraging players of all ages and abilities to take part in the sport. Residents of St Andrews, for example, are already entitled to a Links Annual Pass, which offers access to seven golf courses for the price of £386.

Neil Coulson, Chief Executive of St Andrews Links Trust explains: “Golf has become increasingly popular in recent years, and with it demand for our courses has risen to unprecedented levels. We will continue to ensure that our cardholders and visitors have the best possible experience while ensuring that one of the country’s most treasured golf courses is also open to the public.”

Golf pro gives insights: This is how expensive a tournament week on the Korn Ferry Tour is

How much does a week on the Korn Ferry Tour cost – and what’s left over at the end? American golfer James Nicholas provides honest insights into his tournament weeks on Instagram and in a video format and shows: The road to the PGA Tour is not only tough in sporting terms, but also financially demanding.

Nicholas played strongly at the Argentina Open and finished tied 29th (T-29th). This earned him prize money of 6,575 US dollars – sounds solid, but this is offset by 5,825 US dollars in expenses. The flight to South America alone cost him 1,850 dollars and the hotel was 1,400 dollars. Further costs were incurred for meals, transportation and the caddie. Because he made the cut, he paid his caddie an additional bonus of 460 dollars. The bottom line was that he only made a profit of 750 dollars.

Korn Ferry Tour: Top 30 finish needed to just cover the costs

Just a few weeks later, the reality of many professionals set in: Nicholas missed the cut in Sarasota – and therefore received no prize money. To save costs, he traveled by car and stayed with friends for free. He was therefore able to do without hotel costs. Nevertheless, his expenses amounted to 2,050 dollars. Most of this was accounted for by the basic caddie allowance of 1,500 dollars. Other costs included food, gasoline and a small fee for the on-site locker.

Nicholas emphasizes in his posts that he is grateful for his sponsors, who provide him with equipment, clubs, balls and clothing. Nevertheless, it is clear that without consistent top results, life on the Korn Ferry Tour is hardly financially sustainable. If you don’t make the cut, you don’t receive any prize money – but the expenses remain.

The Masters Tournament 2025: Rory McIlroy wins career Grand Slam in gripping play-off

It’s done: Rory McIlroy has broken his Major curse and crowned himself the winner of the The Masters Tournament 2025. He had to shake and cheer his way through a turbulent final round and even go through a playoff with Justin Rose, but at the end of the road is the long-awaited Green Jacket and with it the career Grand Slam.

The Masters Tournament 2025: Rory McIlroy’s fulfillment

McIlroy did not make it easy for himself. His lead was already gone after a double bogey on hole 1, and Bryson DeChambeau took the lead from him on hole 2. McIlroy struggled with the fairways and a cold putter. Nevertheless, he made two birdies on holes 3 and 4 and regained the lead. While DeChambeau made mistakes, McIlroy built up a four-shot lead.

But every golf fan knows that the Masters doesn’t start until Sunday on the back nine and those words were truer than ever today. The four-shot lead melted away in Amen Corner, while the cavalry got into position behind them. First and foremost Justin Rose, who made nine birdies on his round and even took the lead from his Ryder Cup colleague at times, especially after the latter made a double bogey on the 13th. McIlroy actually wanted to play it safe and put the ball in front, only to see it disappear into Rae’s Creek. Even after Rose had finished his round, the two Brits were tied for the lead, but it was up to McIlroy to take the lead.

In the play-off, he had to compete against Justin Rose. Both delivered excellent shots into the green, but at the end of a long week it was Rory McIlroy who was able to convert his slightly better birdie chance and secure victory. The relief and emotion drained away as McIlroy finally achieved the goal he had been aiming for again and again after such a long time.

It is a historic moment. Not only does McIlroy win a major tournament again after more than ten long years, he also completes his career Grand Slam. After the PGA Championship, US Open and Open Championship, he completes the quartet. Only five golfers in history have ever achieved this: Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and, most recently, Tiger Woods.

Bryson DeChambeau shoots himself out of the final round
Bryson DeChambeau shot himself out of the race relatively quickly. After a birdie on hole 2, with which he snatched the lead from McIlroy, two bogeys followed and nothing really wanted to work out for him. While McIlroy extended his lead, DeChambeau remained nine shots under par until the Amen Corner. But then his nerves got the better of him. He played the ball into the water for a double bogey on the 11th, followed by a bogey on the 12th and the chance of victory was gone. After a stroke gain on the 14th, he tried to attack on the 15th, but was not rewarded and ended up in the water again. He managed to save the par and followed it up with a birdie on the 16th, but the gap to the leaders was too big. Instead, it was defending champion Scottie Scheffler and former champion Patrick Reed who started a race to catch up in the final and finished ahead of DeChambeau.
