PGA Tour Cuts 4% of Workforce as Part of Organisational Restructuring
The tour is not filling 73 open roles and plans to add 30-plus new jobs after an audit guided the restructuring, sources said.
- On Thursday, the PGA Tour laid off 56 full-time employees, representing 4% of its global workforce, while leaving 73 advertised positions unfilled.
- This transition follows a $1.5 billion Strategic Sports Group investment in 2024 that enabled the Tour's shift to a for-profit model; FTI Consulting audited the organization's structure and efficiency.
- PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp described the reductions in an internal memo as a "difficult but important step" in the organization's corporate evolution, following a prior voluntary retirement program where 30 employees participated.
- Despite the cutbacks, the Tour remains profitable according to internal sources, and Rolapp scheduled a staff-wide meeting for May 11 to address the operational rationale.
- The Tour expects to announce 30 or more open roles next week in technology, investor relations, and marketing as it reallocates resources to strengthen its competitive format.
