Pelley leaves Rogers to become CEO European Tour

Rogers Communications has announced that its President, Keith Pelley, will leave the company to become the new Commissioner and CEO of The European Tour – a global golf tour featuring 48 events in 26 countries. He will remain President of Rogers Media until his departure this summer.

"Rogers is a terrific company with the best collection of media assets in the industry. Guy has a clear vision for the company and it’s been exciting to be a part of it.  This truly is a dream job that only comes up once in a lifetime. It was a very difficult decision,” said Pelley.   “I know I’ll never be a professional golfer, so this is the next best thing.  The Tour already has a highly regarded reputation and I look forward to building on this using my experience here at Rogers Media to ensure it remains at the forefront of the game across the globe.  We’ve got a great team at Rogers Media, they know what we need to do.  We’re in good shape"
