New Golfweek Publisher: Alex Miceli Trades In His Bow Tie

Or, not? Either way, the writer and former golf.com editor Alex Miceli is Golfweek's new publisher, announced Turnstile's Francis Farrell.

Miceli succeeds Jereme Day, "who is leaving Golfweek to explore new opportunities."

Miceli, 57, has a long, illustrious history working in the golf industry, starting in 1993 when he founded Golf.com. He sold the site in 1999. A year later, he created the Golf Press Association, a golf news service that provides content for various media outlets. In 2005, he joined the Golfweek staff as a senior writer and since has covered the PGA Tour and golf industry beats. As group publisher, Miceli will oversee Golfweek’s entire portfolio of properties and focus on developing next-level products, businesses and ventures that will continue to expand the brand’s overall reach.

“Golfweek occupies a very important and influential space in golf media,” Miceli said. “This unique position is a major advantage, and I am eager to work with the Golfweek team to develop new content-delivery avenues and explore untapped opportunities that will further elevate our iconic brand.”

Here's hoping one of Alex's first congratulatory calls is from Ian Poulter!
