Jordan Spieth is among the stacked field at the Travelers Championship for the last 2025 PGA Tour Signature Event.

The Tour also recently announced that it has a new CEO, Brian Rolapp, as it appears that Jay Monahan will step down at the end of next season.

Spieth met with Rolapp on Tuesday and weighed in on his first impressions of the new head honcho.

“I thought his comments to the players that were there— I really, really liked him,” Spieth said. “I think he seems like a steal from the most successful sports organization in the world and someone who is on the path to becoming potentially commissioner over there, to coming over and taking the PGA TOUR forward.”

Those are bold words from Spieth, but he seemed to be impressed by Rolapp for a few reasons. The new boss seems to have ideas to help the game grow even more.

“I think he resonated with some of the players about challenging some of the networks on how they’re showing the product,” he continued.

“Being open and willing to adapt and change while maintaining the integrity of the game — he said all the right things. From other players to people that are sponsors that have reached out to me since, have all been super excited about that hire and that we’re very lucky to have him.”

For years, fans have complained about how the PGA Tour chooses to broadcast its product. Many feel there are better ways to do it, but there has not been much change.

It seems Rolapp wants to make some of those necessary fixes to make golf more enjoyable, and he mentioned that right away. The emphasis on improving the product should show that this hire could be just what the PGA Tour needs to keep moving forward.

Spieth also noted that Rolapp encourages players to contact him with their perspectives. He wants to know how to make things better for professional golf.

“It just seems like he can bring a wealth of experience in a lot of places,” Spieth noted. “He’s super open to learning more about golf and the PGA TOUR’s business and the product itself from those that know more about it until he gets caught up.”

The former Texas Longhorn clearly likes him so far, and it appears that other players, like World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, also like what Rolapp has said so far. Tiger Woods, who was on the search committee, also seems excited about the new hire.

Time will tell, but it seems like the new CEO is off to a quick start.
