With the start of Q3 on Thursday, a few key personnel changes also took place within the U.S. Golf Association, including one at the very top.
Last month’s U.S. Open signaled the final lap of Mike Davis’s tenure as CEO of the organization and now Mike Whan has stepped in. Whan, the former Commissioner of the LPGA, was named as Davis’s replacement in February and officially picked up the reins on July 1.
While both the U.S. Women’s Open and U.S. Open are in the rearview for 2021, the USGA is barreling toward the height of its summer season. Next week’s U.S. Senior Open marks the start of six consecutive weeks of championships.
The USGA also confirmed to Golfweek that Chief Commercial Officer Navin Singh has left the organization to pursue other professional opportunities. Singh was responsible for creating, directing and implementing the USGA’s commercial strategy, which included the broadcast production of USGA championships as well as the organization’s digital media rights portfolio and its digital media products.
Singh joined the USGA in 2016.
