PGA Tour CEO Brian Rollapp has been named the organization's next commissioner.

The PGA Tour's board of directors announced Wednesday that it had selected Rollapp as the next commissioner. He will officially take office on Jan. 1, 2027.

PGA Tour board Chairman Joe Gorder said Rollapp had quickly earned the trust and support of both the board and the tour's membership. "Brian is a proven leader who has rapidly earned the trust and support of our board and membership," Gorder said. "His vision, collaborative approach and leadership have strengthened the organization, and based on that track record, the board unanimously backed him to take on the commissioner role."

Rollapp, who will hold the dual titles of commissioner and CEO beginning in 2027, expressed gratitude for the board's confidence. "I am grateful for the trust the board has placed in me, and it is an honor to have the opportunity to serve as commissioner for the PGA Tour and its members," he said.

"Over the past year, we have made meaningful progress in strengthening the foundation of the PGA Tour and preparing for the future — working closely with players, partners, the board and the Future Competition Committee, with fans always at the center of everything we do," he added.

Rollapp was named PGA Tour CEO in June 2025 and officially began his tenure on July 28 of that year. Starting in January 2027, he will become the fifth commissioner in PGA Tour history, succeeding Joe Dey (1969–1974), Deane Beman (1974–1994), Tim Finchem (1994–2016) and Jay Monahan (2017–2026).

Monahan will conclude his tenure as PGA Tour commissioner on Dec. 31, 2026, as originally planned.
