The PGA Tour just got a major shot of adrenaline with Brian Rolapp at the helm, and it’s about to get really interesting. Especially since Jay Monahan’s successor and LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil go way back to their Harvard Business School days, where they likely hashed out business strategies and maybe even debated the future of sports. Who would’ve thought their business school banter would translate to a high-stakes golf rivalry? With Rolapp bringing his NFL expertise to the table, including his knack for securing landmark media deals, the stage is set for a thrilling showdown between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf.

 

Turns out LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil and the PGA Tour’s new CEO Brian Rolapp have history.

They first met at Harvard Business School and were tweeting back and forth four years ago.
