Golf fans are still asking questions about the future of golf, with an emphasis on the merger between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour. Although this issue should have been resolved a long time ago, it seems that there is no progress.
Adam Scott, a well-known face in the world of golf, also a member of the board of directors of the PGA Tour, knows the situation well, and in an interview with the media before one of the tournaments, the Australian golfer referred to the visit to the White House where the US President, Donald Trump, was the mediator in the negotiations between the PGA and LIV Golf.
There's not much happening between, I don't know if more White House visits are really necessary. It was really quite an experience, I have to say. Those conversations haven't advanced far from there.- he said, as quoted by Yahoo.

The new CEO of PGA Tour Enterprises, Brian Rolapp, could be an important figure in the negotiations between the two parties.
Jay Monahan will remain in the position until 2026, but part of the work will also be taken over by Rolapp.
Scott believes that the key to this job is patience, stressing that Rolapp will have to be patient and familiarize himself with the key things in this process.
With Brian stepping in, a lot of that's going to fall onto his desk now. I think that he needs some time to kind of really get up to speed and understand what's going on with that, Scott said.
The public's expectations are huge, and most expect that Brian's influence could lead to an earlier agreement between the two parties.
Rolapp's nature
While most emphasize his professionalism, Scott lists several important characteristics of the new director, having significant expectations from him regarding the future.

His credentials are obviously excellent on paper, but I have a few things that I really liked about Brian, Scott said. He has a very calm nature about him, you know, to me, which was one of the guys involved, I thought I quite liked that. I think he's coming in at a very interesting time in the professional game and I think that calm demeanor's going to serve him well.
