NEW SENIOR VP OF GOLF AT LPGA

Tagged in &

Deb Richard, a member of the LPGA Tour for nearly two decades, has been named senior vice president of golf, a newly created position.

A five-time winner on Tour, Richard announced her retirement from competitive golf earlier this year.

She will oversee all aspects of golf courses on which the LPGA plays and will play an integral role in approving the host venues and set-up for LPGA events.

Richard will also work closely with the LPGA Tournament Sponsors Association regarding the staging of tournaments.
