Adam Scott helped hire Brian Rulapp, the new CEO of the PGA Tour, as part of the tour's search committee and player Policy Board, and he understands better than most the important role Rulapp will play in negotiations with LIV Golf.
There is hope from the tour that Rulapp, a veteran of two decades with the NFL, can energize stalled talks with LIV. Many prominent players would like to unify the divided tours, but optimism has dwindled since a February session with LIV and President Donald Trump at the White House.
Scott was part of the PGA contingent that huddled in D.C. with representatives from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, the financer of LIV Golf. Since then, he said there's 'not much happening.'
'I don't know if more White House visits are really necessary. It was really quite an experience, I have to say,' Scott said Wednesday. 'Those conversations haven't advanced far from there.'
Scott is focused on the course this week at the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C. He's under pressure in the event as the FedEx Cup playoff would start without him if he can't improve on his current standing (85th).
The mild-mannered Scott calmly said he's embracing the 'do or die' position in North Carolina starting Thursday. It's the same part of Rulapp's demeanor that convinced Scott he was the right man for the tour's CEO job.
'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,' Scott said.
