control each week For the unjustified thoughts of our writers and editors as they break down the hottest themes in this sport, and join in the conversation by tweeting us to us in @golf_com. This week, we discuss If the Frisco PGA was very difficult for women’s PGA, if Keegan Bradley should choose yourself for Ryder Cup team and employment of new PGA Tour CEO.
Minjee Lee won her big third career title on Sunday at the KPMG-or Women’s PGA Championship, put another way, she survived the Fire Respiratory Test that was the Fields Ranch East course in PGA Frisco more effectively than any other player. In what was one of the most difficult main groups in the last memory (strong, fast, windy, sweltering), Lee, which ended in four under the week, was one of Only three players to break par. Earlier during the week, said the big winner twice Stacy Lewis Golf“The question of this is also, it makes us look good. We are trying to get more people to see women’s golf and watch us play golf, and configurations like this, they don’t help us … We are making players very good look silly.” What do you say? Was the setting too difficult?
KEYEELS TO WIN WOMEN PGA? Overcoming the grueling, inevitable challenge
James Colgan, the editor of news and features (@Jamescolgan26): I think the US open in Oakmont proved beyond any counter -argument that golf fans like when the best players in the world look silly. Yes, there is a gender -loaded connotation under this that should not be ignored: female players fight for public recognition of their talent in a way that men do not. But at its core, I say let the massacres reign.
Nick Pastowski, High Editor (@nickpia): I understand what the lewis is saying there – birds sold and bogeys not. Scottie Scheffler also said as much as possible to travelers, where he said you don’t go to basketball games wanting to see less Dunks or 3 indicators, or don’t go to tennis matches wanting to see a slower ball. But there is something to say to see the best in the world to be tested – and using Scheffler’s example, you can also say that people go to football games to see good protection. Would you say that last week’s men was poor? The line should be rewarding good shots and punishing the poor – if the Fields Ranch East did not do it, it should be made, but if it were to happen, then the course worked.
Jack Harsh, editor of associate equipment (@jr_hirshey): I’m in the pro-Carnage camp too, but I fully agree with Nick, if the test was right, that’s all that matters. The moment you have a pro doing Bogeys after what they thought were good shots, it becomes unfair. But honestly, I am more forced to see a tour where par is a large number than a bird’s holiday, especially in diplomas. Lewis makes a good point that America’s PGA has typically set up and golf to display its players, but there is nothing wrong with showing their ability to do it when it goes harsh. A great time champion won, sure to say the best player in the field was identified this week.
In PGA Tour, US CAPE CAPE U.S. and new England’s own KEEGAN BRADLEY won the traveler championship Fashionable electric, making a 72nd bouquet of Pip Tommy Fleetwood and Russell Henley from one. The victory was the first of Bradley of 2025, but marked his fifth end of Top-10 and the third in his last four beginnings. He has said he would not spend one of his six captain’s elections on himself. But if Bradley (who started the 17th week in the US team ranking) has not automatically qualified, should he rethink his election strategy?

Pastowski: I think so, if he is somewhere in the 10th interval. If he is somewhere higher, then not. But yes, the American team would be well served by a bradyley with energy, in shape. If he is in line to be selected, he must rest the captain – making both of them would be harmful to the team.
Colgan: Uhh, yes. The US list is slightly easy these days to Bradley’s latest form and energy players. He should be on the list.
Hirah: Yes! Select yourself, then give up the captain in the Tiger Woods. Then Bradley does all the things PR and the run that Tiger didn’t want to do and Woods adds the adrenaline shot to the New York crowd.
Tuesday, PGA Tour officially announced Brian Rolapp as its new CEO. ROPP was previously with NFL as Its long media chief and business official. Why does this rent and what does it essentially mean to the league, players and fans?
Colgan: It is important because of the job title. Rolapp understands that modern sports leagues are media companies, and essentially, he realizes that the media is a more positive environment. More is more when it is done properly. $ 150 billion in NFL media rights tariffs prove that he knows how to do it properly.
Pastowski: Rolapp lease was a business rent. He himself said he had little golf origin (though he once worked in Congress). But he was, as Colgan noted above, instrumental in expanding the NFL extension, and could be imagined that it was one of his points of sale for tournament people. Think about the changes we’ve seen in NFL recently. Games all over the world. Games presented in different services. Games also shown in Nickelodeon. Rollapp promises not to be afraid to experiment with the hope of adult. The players also look excited by rent. He is a stranger. And the NFL background brings the cachet.
Hirah: Matters is important because PGA Tour, which is not one of the four most popular leagues in this country, simply hired the apparent heir to the NFL commissioner, who is the most popular sports link in the country. Clearly, PGA Tour has been trampling on water in recent years with Jay Monahan while fought Liv and it was an action to inject some very necessary ideas.
Rollapp has spent most of his career with the NFL, even adding to his open entry letter, “I have a lot to learn about golf.” Are you surprised by a stranger from another sport was brought inside? And do you think it was the right movement?
Who is Brian Rolapp? The insider speak in the model and plan of the PGA Tour CEO.
Colgan: A little surprised, but I think PGA Tour can use the new set of eyes. There have been so many changes in Pro Golf over the last 4 years, and yet I wonder if any viewer at home feels that the experience of the week, the week has improved from the time Bryson and Phil were still in PGA Tour. I am a supporter of tour changes in recent years, but a fresh perspective at the top can give something even better (and inclusive of all the best players).
Pastowski: I am gently surprised, but the strategic sports group, the group that has pledged billions in PGA Tour while fighting Liv Golf, is also largely non-Golf. Pro Golf has become a big business, and the tour hopes a businessman has been found. He may not be able to show you the right approach to get rid of a bunker, but he will have thoughts on how to make you allocate, buy tickets, or both.
Hirah: I’m not surprised. Like I alludo above, the PGA Tour has not really done much to fight Liv -in in addition to making smaller sizes and growth of the bag. Still looks exactly the same. Rollapp was brought by one of the most successful properties in the world (NFL) to shake things and this is exactly what the tournament needs.
Like any CEO in the entrance, there is a long list of items that Rollapp should give preference. Should what should be at the top of his list?
The cordial letter of Charlie Woods for Tiger, PGA Tour CEO Thoughts | Weekend 9
Colgan: Reintegration of Livi. PGA Tour after season. Wide PGA Tour program. The list goes on.
Pastowski: I like them all. And I will add if the PGA Tour gets its game more globally – Australia, Europe, Asia, Africa, South America – or it remains mainly in the US Rory Mcilroy has often brought his desire for a global tour. I imagine this will be spoken.
Pond: All excellent points. Should be emphasized in reintegration of liv. Golf must be unified once again. I know Rollapp was not there when the NFL and AFL came together, but he has to bring some of that energy.
Our James Colgan reported that it plans the “sunset” tour Jay Monahan tournament after a period of overlapping that should help bring RollApp to speed, which can last between six and 18 months. How would you summarize Monahan’s work body – good and evil – over the past nine years?
Colgan: Monahan has sailed some important cases very well, but his mandate as Commish will be remembered forever for Liv and the June 6, 2023 framework. Yet you feel it is how you feel about Monahan.
Pastowski: Liv and the framework agreement will be in the forefront of how Monahan will be remembered. Should it have reacted better to Saudi investment? Should there have been some of the changes previously presented now? Perhaps the players also show how he managed PGA Tour during Covid, returning him to play after three months, and while Tiger Woods has played fewer and fewer events in recent years, he has managed to keep popular golf. But the riots will mark his mandate.
Hirah: I will not sit here and write how bad of a job did Monahan as a commissioner. But I will point out that he let the Liv Golf happen when, if he was proactive about it, he might never have started, and we wouldn’t have this golf period we have now. He will be remembered forever for this.
