Outgoing PGA CEO Sheds New Light On Decision To Move PGA Championship From Trump Course Seth Waugh recently stepped down as CEO of the PGA of America after six years. While six years may not seem like too long a tenure, he experienced quite an unprecedented run of circumstances while in the role. Not long after being named to the position in 2018, the entire world, including golf courses across the globe, shut down due to the pandemic. At the same time, the Saudis were busy creating LIV Golf, and Waugh found himself in charge of one of the game’s governing bodies in the most divisive period in the history of professional golf. Overseeing the operations of PGA Championships and Ryder Cups probably felt like a break compared to other happenings around the world of golf for Waugh.  While a virus shutting down the world and the creation of LIV Golf were two things very much out of his control, one event during his tenure as PGA CEO certainly was, and it’s one many golf fans will remember him most for.
