ST. LOUIS – For the first time since the news was announced, outgoing PGA of America CEO Pete Bevacqua addressed his upcoming move to NBC Sports.
Speaking Wednesday in an annual news conference ahead of the PGA Championship, Bevacqua called his impending departure “bittersweet.”
“The past, roughly six years at PGA of America have been wonderful,” he said. “As many of you know, I'll be moving on to NBC Sports. But what made that decision, at least a little bit easier for me, is the fact that I know I'll still be so involved with golf and still so involved with the PGA of America, such a wonderful organization, and with the friends I've made, like Kerry [Haigh], who I absolutely think the world of, my fellow staff, the board, the officers.
