From the PGA of America and Troon to Riviera Country Club, Jim Richerson is on the move.
Riviera Country Club President Megan Watanabe made an announcement on Wednesday that Richerson will be the new general manager of the historic venue in Los Angeles, site of the Genesis Invitational.
Richerson, who works at Troon’s corporate headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona, will move with his family to southern California when he begins his new role. He has been president of the PGA of America since November 2020 and his term, which included a Ryder Cup victory for the U.S. last September, will end at the two-year mark this November.
