Brian Rolapp's arrival as CEO of LIV Golf has generated positive emotions. Most are eager to see what kind of work he will do, and judging by the public's reactions, it seems that he is on the right track.
What guarantees success?
His experience in this kind of job is certainly important, but his responsibility and readiness are equally important components.
Famous faces of the golf scene, such as Smylie Kaufman, believe that Rolapp will revive the PGA Tour. However, when can we expect some big changes?
Kaufman expects that Rolapp's influence will be felt only next year, when the PGA could make rapid changes.
Smylie is aware of how much Rolapp is giving his all, and he has put special emphasis on the tournament schedule.

I like the way hes approaching it. Lets get all the data, and then, lets let these guys just go and be golfers. Lets not let them try to run the tour. Let the adults in the room be able to take this thing to the next level, and I think thats what hes doing now, he said.
Next year, youre going to start to see progress and announcements of changes that are going to happen in the future years, hopefully starting in 2027 where the schedule I think could get just completely blown up, which would be so exciting for the fans, the players. Theres interesting things that Ive heard. That would be one of the first things that you could say people are talking about and that things could really get changed up a little bit.- he said, as quoted by The Golfing Gazette.

Responsibility
The public has mixed emotions when it comes to the PGA Tour's recent moves. Dissatisfaction seems to be growing, despite the fact that the leaders tend to fight with LIV Golf and have an upper hand on the golf scene. Among the fans, there seem to be two currents; One that wants a merger with LIV Golf, and the other that opposes it.
One of the sources of dissatisfaction is the pace of the game, which is talked about more and more every year.
Although the PGA leaders emphasized that they will do everything to put an end to this problem, it seems that they do not have many solutions at their disposal.
