Keith Pelley 'Asked To Delay' DP World Tour Exit For Three Months As He 'Truly Believes' Golf's Merger Can Be Completed Before The Masters

Jay Monahan and Keith Pelley at the 2023 DP World Tour Championship.

Outgoing DP World Tour CEO Keith Pelley revealed he asked to delay his departure date until April as he "truly believes" that a merger deal between all three main tours in men's professional golf will be completed before then.

Pelley confirmed on Thursday that he will be leaving his role as chief executive of the European Tour in order to take up his "dream job" as its president and CEO of MLSE - the group which oversees four of Toronto's biggest sports franchises - and would be replaced by Guy Kinnings on April 2.
