Paul McGinley believes Keith Pelley will leave the DP World Tour in a much better place for his almost nine-year tenure as the chief executive of European professional golf’s flagship circuit.

Pelley is returning to his native Canada to become president and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, owners of ice hockey’s Toronto Maple Leafs, the NBA’s Toronto Raptors and MLS side Toronto FC.
