I've been asking a lot of people this question this week. Responses have been mixed. Do you need to be a golf person to be the CEO of the PGA Tour?

Roberto Castro @cicioCASTRO

@JoshACarpenter @SBJ @PGATOUR @NFL He does not have a GHIN. Your thoughts?

Here’s the memo from Roger Goodell on Brian Rolapp. It doesn’t explicitly say he’s leaving for the PGA Tour, but sources expect Rolapp to take the CEO job, as @SBJ reported earlier this week https://t.co/MDBJqWcylW

The USGA will stage back-to-back U.S. Opens for the men and women at Pinehurst No. 2 in 2029, as it did in 2014. But in 2029, the dates are being flipped and the women's event will be played the week before the men. Big win for the ladies https://t.co/TfcsPs7ibh

Two sources on Wednesday said @espn has had discussions with the @USGA about getting involved with its media rights post-2026 https://t.co/fKXu2qFJZm

. @USGAMike says the @USGA is still in early discussions on its next media rights pact. “We’re months away, not weeks away, from figuring out what the future is.” https://t.co/fKXu2qFJZm

I believe Golf Digest sponsored a contest that did exactly this in 2008, but it had celebs mixed in with a random amateur.

Justin Thomas @JustinThomas34

So much talk about “what would X handicap shoot at Oakmont”… Why don’t we find a way to make it happen? Have a 5, 10, 18 whatever handicap play Monday after the @usopengolf. Back tees full rules of golf, and see what happens? May have to let a few groups thru and allow for 6-7

Brian Rolapp, the NFL’s number 2 executive, is the leading candidate to be the next PGA Tour CEO. Sources say an announcement could come in the weeks after the U.S. Open https://t.co/kVobcg6P9P

There had been a bit of a narrative that the networks didn't want match play for the Tour Championship. Not NBC, according to Sam Flood. “There’s no question match play would work for the PGA Tour playoffs. It would be dramatic for TV, and if it was done the right way, it could

Golf viewership from the weekend: CBS draws 2.376M viewers at the Canadian Open for Ryan Fox’s win. That’s up 18% from last year (2.020M for Bobby Mac). It’s down 28% from 2023, which drew 3.304M for the Nick Taylor playoff. But that was a 23-year high for the net. For the

Hospitality sales for this week's @usopengolf were at nearly $26M as of late May, which would be the second-best ever for the event. This is the first year the @USGA is operating its hospitality in house https://t.co/Mhg0x05jjz https://t.co/Xk9Ms8cYYk
