The PGA of America suspends its President

Don Rea’s absence from the PGA Championship won by Aaron Rai did not go unnoticed.

The fact that the president of the organizing body skipped the Major was seen as confirmation of the rumors circulating about Don Rea’s fate.

PGA of America, statement

On Friday, the PGA of America officially announced the replacement of its President.

Nathan Charnes, the vice president, was named Acting President effective immediately, thus avoiding an institutional vacuum that would have certainly harmed the PGA of America.

Charnes’ statement reads as follows:

«I am writing to share the news that the Board of Directors of the PGA of America has implemented a leadership change following the suspension of President Don Rea for the remainder of his term, which will expire next November.»

«The Board determined that the leadership change was necessary to ensure the Association can effectively fulfill its governance responsibilities and continue to advance its strategic priorities.»

«The Board also expressed its appreciation for Don Rea’s service to the PGA of America.»

But it is precisely in this last sentence that the reason for his replacement actually lies.

The beginning of the end for Rea was his handling of the Ryder Cup at Bethpage, and the issue at stake was the poor behavior of American fans, which Don Rea failed to adequately address.

The Rules of Golf are a set of standards and procedures by which the sport of golf should be played. They are jointly written and administered by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body of golf worldwide, except in the United States and Mexico, which are governed by the United States Golf Association. An expert committee composed of members of the R&A and the USGA oversees and refines the rules every four years. The latest revision took effect on January 1, 2016. Amendments to the Rules of Golf are generally divided into two main categories: those that improve understanding and those that reduce penalties in certain cases to ensure balance. The rulebook, entitled «Rules of Golf,» is published regularly and also includes rules governing amateur status. In Italy, the Italian Golf Federation is responsible for overseeing competitions by enforcing the rules issued by the R&A, ensuring that these rules are observed by clubs, associations, and their members, and managing the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
