Fred Perpall was elected to serve as the 67th president of the United States Golf Association on Saturday at the Association’s Annual Meeting in Napa, California, the USGA announced.
Perpall will serve a three-year term leading the USGA Executive Committee, the all-volunteer, policy-making board that provides strategic direction and oversight to the USGA’s full-time staff. He is the first Black man to hold that post in the association’s history, dating to 1894.“We talk too much about what separates us, and not enough about what unites us. In golf, we’re a community,” said Perpall following his election. “When we lean in together, when we include more people in the game, not only will the game get better, but our lives will get better, too.”
