Compulsory credit: Kyle Terada-Imagn images Adam Scott has helped hire Brian Rulapp, the new CEO of the PGA Tour, as part of the Tournée and the Council for the Policy Policies, and he understands better than most of the important role that Runapp will play in negotiations with Liv Golf.
There is the hope of the tour that Rulapp, a veteran of two decades with the NFL, can energize the talks in a standstill with Liv. Many eminent players would like to unify divided tours, but optimism has decreased since a February session with Liv and President Donald Trump in the White House.
Scott was part of the PGA quota which huddles in DC with representatives of the public investment fund of Saudi Arabia, Liv Golf financier. Since then, he said that he was not much going on. “
“I don’t know if more visits to the White House are really necessary. It was really a whole experience, I must say,” said Scott on Wednesday. “These conversations have not advanced far from it.”
Scott focuses on the course this week at the Wyndham Championship at the Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, NC, he is under pressure in the event while the Fedex Cup qualifiers would start without him if he could not improve his current position (85th).
The SCOTT in soft manners calmly declared that it kissed the position “to do or die” in North Carolina from Thursday. It was the same part of the behavior of Rulapp who convinced Scott that he was the right man for the post of CEO of the tour.
“I think it arrives at a very interesting moment in the professional game and I think that the calm behavior will serve him well,” said Scott.

This is actually pretty standard in corporate transitions. When theres ongoing negotiations, the parties often maintain radio silence to avoid jeopardizing the deal. The new CEO inheriting unfinished business is challenging but not unusual in major mergers.
Im sorry but this is unacceptable. We as fans deserve to know whats happening with our sport. The silence is deafening and frankly insulting to everyone who loves golf.
Oh sure, because putting ONE person in charge of fixing the biggest crisis in golf history is definitely gonna work out great. What could possibly go wrong? 🙄
Great article! Really appreciate the coverage on this important transition period. The new CEO has my full support!
So the new CEO’s job description is basically: fix everything, tell us nothing, and somehow make everyone happy? Yeah good luck with that buddy 😆
Actually excited to see what happens next! Change can be good and maybe fresh leadership is exactly what we need right now.
my uncle works in sports management and he says this kind of thing happens all the time when big money involved. everyone shuts up until papers are signed
lol so basically they hired a CEO to manage a deal that doesn’t exist yet? sounds about right for golf politics 😂
wait so let me get this straight… they appointed a CEO but theres no actual deal yet? and nobodys saying anything about it? this is like hiring a wedding planner before you even proposed lmao
Finally someone brave enough to call out the silence! This merger talk has been dragging on forever and we get nothing but crickets from leadership. The new CEO better start talking fast or this whole thing gonna fall apart before it even starts.
What a mess. They promised us transparency and all we got is more corporate doublespeak and empty promises. This new CEO walking into a disaster and nobody even talking about the elephant in room.
