Prior to his time at LIV Golf, Burian served in several senior leadership positions throughout the Madison Square Garden (MSG) family of companies, including as an executive vice president and general counsel at MSG Networks, and as an executive vice president of corporate development at both MSG Sports and MSG Entertainment.
“We are pleased to welcome Lawrence to PRG at this pivotal moment for the company and the live experiences industry,” said PRG board member Lauren Krueger in a statement. “With nearly three decades of leadership experience across entertainment, sports, media and hospitality, Lawrence brings deep operational expertise and a strong track record of guiding complex, high-profile organizations through periods of transformation and expansion.”
“PRG has an extraordinary legacy of creativity and technical excellence,” Burian added. “We will continue to differentiate ourselves through relentless customer service and by deepening the long-term partnerships that fuel our success. PRG is well positioned to grow while continuing to deliver for our clients and remain a place where people can do their best work.”
