DP World Tour chief executive Keith Pelley hired by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment

On Wednesday, TSN reported that DP World Tour chief executive Keith Pelley is leaving his post for a job with Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment. MLSE is the parent company of the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs, the NBA’s Toronto Raptors, as well as the city’s MLS and Canadian Football League franchises.

The DP World Tour confirmed the news on Thursday morning.

Pelley, who has been a chief executive with the DP World Tour since 2015, has been a large voice in the negotiation process with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and LIV Golf as the future landscape of professional golf continues to evolve.

TSN reports that MLSE will be naming Pelley the president and chief executive.
