“Ted was the right person at the right time"
/Golf World's Jaime Diaz profiles PGA of America president Ted Bishop's final days in office and gets this endorsement from PGA CEO Pete Bevacqua.
“Ted was the right person at the right time,” says Pete Bevacqua, the PGA of America’s smooth 44-year-old CEO who Bishop says can reel him in almost in a fatherly way when he gets too worked up. “Ted did not shy away from being the most vocal president with a bullish voice in the industry that we needed. The way he’s wired helped us get things done that would otherwise not have gotten done.”
Diaz also notes that Bishop received a "laudatory text" post-Ryder Cup from former USGA president Glen Nager, Bishop's one time nemesis in the anchored putter debate. Not sure if Nager was complimenting the selection of Tom Watson or Bishop's cart driving duties or something else, but it's just simply touching to know these two are texting again.
The story also notes we'll be getting the PGA-Ryder Cup task force list soon and there are many names listed, but Paul Azinger isn't one of them. Yet. Here we go!
