The new CEO of the PGA Tour, Brian Rolapp, is aware that a difficult period awaits him and that he must do everything to revive the PGA Tour. He has a serious task ahead of him, and experts and analysts are already predicting which direction the tournament could go.
Golf expert Ryan Lavner made some interesting suggestions for PGA leaders, stressing that Rolapp and the tour's major figures should pick a popular tournament to kick off the season. He pointed out that such a tournament would bring a lot of energy and would attract a large number of people.
Lavner especially praised TPC Scottsdale, considering it one of the most underrated golf courses, and added that he had been talking about this proposal for years with the desire that this particular tournament would open the season.

I love the idea of beginning the PGA Tour season in Phoenix because the Phoenix Open is everything that Kapaula and the Sentry have not been, Lavner said on the Golf Channel Podcast.
There are massive crowds, hundreds of thousands of people. There is tons of energy throughout the week.
I actually think TPC Scottsdale is one of the most underrated golf courses on the PGA Tour schedule. Its got a dramatic closing stretch."- he concluded.
There are many things that make this tournament so popular.
What can we expect in the end: Will PGA Tour leaders heed the proposal?
PGA Tour leaders are aware that this tournament could have great significance for all participants, but they also know that they must carefully analyze the market and make the best decisions at the given moment.

The PGA Tour still leads the way, but the competition coming from LIV Golf further motivates the leaders to make new moves, and it seems that there will be more and more changes in the coming years.
Whether this proposal will be taken into consideration remains to be seen. It seems that many fans support this proposal via social media.
