TORONTO — The head of media at Canada's Rogers Communications Inc will leave the company this summer to become commissioner of the PGA European Tour golf events, the cable and media company said in a statement on Friday.
Keith Pelley joined Rogers in August 2010, and in recent years repositioned the Roger Media division of the company and played a key role in presenting newly won National Hockey League content, the statement said.
"I know I'll never be a professional golfer, so this is the next best thing," Pelley said of the new role.
A search for his replacement will begin and his exact departure date announced later, Rogers said.
