Following an illustrious 30-year career that has been underscored by prominent and transformational positions within the golf industry, the PGA TOUR today announced that Ty Votaw, Executive Vice President, International, will be retiring. While he will be leaving his current role in the organization, effective in June, he will remain as a key consultant to the TOUR.
Votaw, Commissioner of the LPGA Tour from 1999-2005, has served in multiple capacities since joining the TOUR in 2005, including the Marketing and Communications areas of the TOUR as Chief Marketing Officer, and oversight of all aspects of the TOUR’s strategy as a global tour in his position as EVP, International. During his time at the TOUR, Ty was part of the team that advocated for golf’s inclusion in the 2016 Summer Games and served as Executive Director for the International Golf Federation—recognized as the representative body for golf by the International Olympic Committee.
