Brian Rolapp is the new CEO of PGA Tour Enterprises and de facto head of the entire organization.

He is a departure from his predecessors at the top of the Ponte Vedra pyramid, beyond not having the commissioner title yet.

The new CEO is an outsider, not a product of the Tour ’s conclave nor even of the broader golf ecosystem.

Rolapp will never be more powerful than in his first year .

But he's still at the mercy of the players, who control votes on the board.

Striking a balance between what players are willing to do and what SSG is willing to pay for will be a time-consuming task.
