European Tour Boss George O鈥橤rady To Retire
Print Edition
EUROPEAN Tour chief executive George O’Grady will retire after a decade in charge of the organization.
O’Grady, 65, announced his decision yesterday on the eve of the WGC-HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai.
“I felt this was the right time to ask the board to begin the search for my successor,” O’Grady said in a statement.
He has overseen the world’s second biggest professional tour behind the United States-based PGA Tour, though it endured some difficult times and loss of sponsors during the global financial crisis a few years ago.
“It’s a shame that he’s stepping down but I think he’s had a good reign,” Englishman Justin Rose, the world No. 6 who won the 2013 US Open, said.
Rose said he had been talking recently with O’Grady about resurrecting some historic British tournaments that have fallen off the schedule in recent years due to loss of sponsorship.
