First Post-Davis Change At Golf House

/

Chief Business Officer Pete Bevacqua resigned effective immediately, confirms USGA Director of Communications Rand Jerris. The move comes just nineteen days after Mike Davis was named USGA Executive Director.

Bevacqua served as "CBO" since July, 2007 and helped usher in the era of USGA corporate partnerships. While the corporate partners program was viewed by yours truly and others as an ominous move by the USGA, I always found Bevacqua to be respectful of how the partners could undermine the feel and look of the U.S. Open and he deserves credit for having made both the American Express and Lexus deals positive additions to the tournament experience. I've reached out to Bevacqua for comment.
