PGA TOUR

Career Update continued! I’m excited to officially share what’s next: I have accepted the role of Manager, Digital Marketing and Owned Operations at Sam's Club and will be relocating to Bentonville in the coming weeks. This opportunity represents an incredible next step in my career, and I could not be more excited to join such an innovative organization and talented team. From our earliest conversations, it was clear this was a place where I could continue to grow, contribute, and challenge myself in new ways. While leaving the PGA TOUR was a difficult decision because of the amazing people and experiences there, I’m incredibly energized for this next chapter and everything ahead. Looking forward to getting started and sharing more along the way!

Learned a lot building PGA TOUR Studios. Some of it on purpose 😂. K. Douglas Price from Hawk-Eye Innovations and I talked through it on the Sony stage at NAB - 30 minutes on replay architecture, innovation, and why we scaled TOUR’s media production capabilities. If you’re building or scaling, hopefully some of it is useful.

Three years of The Q and two years of having the pleasure of working with Kyle Oland , David Williams and the rest of the great team at Play Golf Myrtle Beach has led to some of our best stuff yet - "More Than Qualified" Getting to work with their team and follow Ryan Ruffles journey from winning The Q all the way through Sunday of the ONEFlight Myrtle Beach Classic was a great experience that has led to one of my favorite pieces here at the PGA Tour so far. This couldn't have been done without the incredibly talented team at PGA TOUR Studios - Sam Davis , Skyler Morton , Logan Ripley and so many others. Enjoy! https://lnkd.in/e32u3Fii

It's an honor to welcome Barings and MassMutual to the PGA TOUR Family. Looking forward to continuing to build with Lizzy Jenkins Cruz, Kristin Tallman Lane, Holly Swartz, Rachel Pascal and their teams.

First, apologies for the flurry of updates all at once, but, lastly, due to character restrictions on LinkedIn, I didn't get to add this to my earlier post..... I would be remiss if I didn't recognize that the opportunity which the PGA TOUR afforded me over the last 26 years was incredible. The organization, which was a traditional sports league when I joined in 2000, not a global media company, allowed me and my core teammates to form a best-in-class Ad Operations department. We led with curiosity and compassion and I will never replace the relationships I built with that team. So thank you again to the entire team, which over 26 years, is impossible to name them all. Some have become huge impacts in the ad ops industry (Sean Halbmaier, LeeAnne McElligott, Nick Potvin, Mike McLeod, Mitchell Hemm, Venice Belliard, Maranda Chalmers-Walker, Collette Macon, Ricky Clark). Some have been a catalyst within the PGA TOUR and golf business overall (Matt Warnock, Andrew Cheston, Samantha Coury, Tom Jeffs, Lily Morrison, Evan Cohen, Sadie La Manna, Madeline Rolfsen, Jaclyn Harten, Jen Johns, Hunter Drake, Emily Wieger, Luke Graf, David Holland, Adam Conway). Some have pursued incredible newly found passions outside of the ad industry. (Eric Cannon, Katie Lyerly, Brian Readout, Caitlin de Cristo, MSN, RN, CCRN). Some have left the TOUR and are making their mark in the industry with other organizations (Rebecca Sacks, Jamie Fuller, Stephannie Bultema, Lauren English). .....and still others I was just beginning to see the hyper early growth of their young careers (Emma Moore, Erin Pulliam, Logan Whalen, Anastasia Geoffroy, Parker Follett, Elizabeth Coates, Alan Owens, MBA, MSBM, Johanna Keeline). ....and the list goes on and on, totalling 100-200 over the years. If I've left you off the list, know that each and every one of you were a part of building something unprecedented and it isn't lost on me for one minute that I wouldn't have had the career I was fortunate enough to have without you.
