According to Herzig's latest report, Rolapp had the meeting with Woods at the venue in Cromwell, Connecticut, and it was made compulsory for the PGA Tour players. Take a look at what she wrote on her X timeline:

"Brian Rolapp, the PGA Tour’s new CEO is here at the Travelers Championship addressing players in a players-only mandatory meeting. The CEO search committee, which includes Tiger Woods, is also here on site in Connecticut."
The Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands has been a Signature PGA Tour event since last year. Since it attracts a stronger field, this might be Rolapp's first steps of shaping development on the Tour under his tenure.
Tiger Woods started being a part of the PGA Tour’s CEO Search Committee since Jay Monahan expressed his wish to step down. The Committee, which also has Adam Scott, unanimously voted for Brian Rolapp's appointment as the Tour CEO after Monahan steps down.
As per current regulations, Rolapp will not take the reins of the Tour from Monahan until the end of next year. Mohahan will continue to be a part of the PGA Tour till the end of 2025 as part of the handover process.
