The new Tour CEO, Brian Rolapp, was attending a press conference at East Lake Golf Club, which will be hosting this year's Tour Championship. Before the final leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, he announced the formation of a nine-member committee.

Tiger Woods and the PGA Tour's Future Competition Committee will critically inspect the existing competitive model of the Tour. It will also work together to improve the future of competition on the PGA Tour. This committee also aims to increase fan engagement by ensuring that top players often compete together.

Apart from Woods, the PGA Tour's newly formed Future Competition Committee will include Patrick Cantlay, Adam Scott, Camilo Villegas, Maverick McNealy, Keith Mitchell, Joe Gorder, John Henry and Theo Epstein.

According to the PGA Tour, the diverse skillset and experiences from the nine members will enrich the Tour's merit-based structure. It will also increase the impact of the Tour Championship by connecting the regular golf season and the post-season.

When Tiger Woods shared his views on how Brian Rolapp can improve the PGA Tour

Commissioner Jay Monahan formed the PGA Tour's Search Committee to find the Tour's new Chief Executive Officer. Back in June 2025, the committee found Brian Rolapp to be an appropriate candidate to take on a new role.

Tiger Woods, who was also a part of the Search Committee, expressed his support for the former NFL Chief Media and Business Officer. While talking about the newly-appointed CEO, Woods said (quoted by the PGA Tour):

"Brian’s appointment is a win for players and fans. He has a clear respect for the game and our players and brings a fresh perspective from his experience in the NFL."

Woods also expressed his faith in Rolapp's leadership skills and the PGA Tour's future in his hands.

"I’m excited about what’s ahead—and confident that with Brian’s leadership, we’ll continue to grow the TOUR in ways that benefit everyone who loves this sport."

Before he was appointed as Chairman of the newly formed Future Competition Committee, Woods was already a Player Director of the PGA TOUR Policy & PGA TOUR Enterprises Boards.
