PGA Of America COO Out After Recent Arrest

That’s two executive mugshots in just over two years for the PGA of America.

First it was 2018 with their then-President, Paul Levy, and now COO Darrell Crall is leaving after an assault arrest.

From Brian Wacker’s GolfDigest.com report:

The decision comes a month after Crall, 53, was alleged to have attacked his girlfriend of three years, Angie Jasso, on Nov. 24. An arrest affidavit alleges that Crall pinned Jasso down on a counter and choked her, then threw her to the ground after she had refused to give her car keys to him at an apartment complex in Frisco. Crall was arrested and charged with assault family violence-impeding breath or circulation, which is a third-degree felony. He was released on $15,000 bond the following day and was initially placed on administrative leave from the PGA of America.

Crall was a central figure in the PGA of America’s forthcoming headquarters move to Frisco, Texas where future PGA Championships and possibly a Ryder Cup will be played.

Current PGA President Jim Richerson’s email to PGA of America members announcing the move:

Good Afternoon,

I'm writing to inform you that the PGA of America and COO Darrell Crall have mutually agreed to conclude his employment effective immediately.  We will be providing a further update on operations and staffing in the near future. Please know that the PGA Frisco development continues to be a focus for the Officers, Board and staff and we will continue to move forward without missing a beat under Seth's leadership in collaboration with the PGA of America executive team.

Hoping that all of you have a safe and enjoyable holiday season.

Regards,

Jim
