Canadian Grand Prix to stay on F1 calendar through 2035
June 17 (Reuters) - The Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal will stay on the calendar through 2035 after agreeing a four-year extension to the existing deal, Formula One said on Tuesday. The contract renewal also includes a long-term extension to Bell Media's media rights deal, the Liberty Media-owned sport added. Last weekend's grand prix at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve was the 54th edition since the race first featured in the championship in 1967. The Montreal track, named after the late Ferrari great and father of 1997 world champion Jacques, became the permanent host in 1978. "I would like to thank the promoter, Octane Racing Group, for their continued efforts in upgrading this iconic venue in recent years, and all local, regional, and national political stakeholders who have worked closely together to make this event what it is today," said F1 chief executive Stefano Domenicali. The race's previous contract extension was to 2029 but two of those years (2020 and 2021) were during the COVID-19 pandemic when Formula One did not visit and the deal was extended to 2031. Next year's race will be held earlier than previously with a new May 24 slot after switching with Monaco and aligning more closely with Miami.

Tiger Woods has hailed the appointment of Brian Rolapp, a veteran NFL executive, as the PGA Tour's new CEO as a 'win for players and fans'. Rolapp will take over the reins from Jay Monahan, who is staying on with the Florida-based tour until the end of 2026 as part of a handover process.

New PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp pictured with player director Tiger Woods at a board meeting in Cromwell, Connecticut, on Tuesday | Tracy Wilcox/PGA Tour Rolapp, who has spent more than two decades with the NFL and, most recently, served as the chief media and business officer, was the committee's "unanimous" recommendation. 'Brian's appointment is a win for players and fans,' said Woods, who is one of the circuit's player directors. 'He has a clear respect for the game and our players and brings a fresh perspective from his experience in the NFL. 'I'm excited about what's ahead and confident that with Brian's leadership, we'll continue to grow the tour in ways that benefit everyone who loves this sport.'

'Golf has one of the deepest histories and many of the most timeless traditions in all of sports,' he wrote. 'That history and those traditions have inspired generations of players and fans, creating both a game and a tour that millions around the world love. 'At the same time, professional golf is evolving, as are the ways fans consume sports. My goal as CEO is to honor golf's traditions but not be overly bound by them. Respect the past. Build the future. Let's move forward together.

Current PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan is staying on with the circuit until the end of 2026 as part of a handover process |Monahan's position has seemed uncomfortable ever since a deal to enter into the talks with the Saudis was announced without the PGA Tour membership knowing anything about what was happening in the background. He took a leave of absence due to the anxiety that caused before returning to work but the damage had been done in the eyes of some of the leading players. 'A year ago, I informed our Boards that upon completing a decade as commissioner, I would step down from my role at the end of 2026,' said Monahan.
