Houston, TX (Sports Network) - The United States Golf Association announced
on Saturday that Glen D. Nager has been elected the 62nd president of the
organization.
"It is a privilege to serve the game of golf," said Nager. "I look forward to
working with the USGA's professional staff and dedicated volunteers in meeting
the challenges that the game faces."
Nager, 53, a Houston native, was elected to serve a one-year term. He replaces
Jim Hyler as head of the USGA.
Nager is a lawyer by trade and argued 13 cases before the United States
Supreme Court. He clerked for retired Justice Sandra Day O'Connor before he
became a USGA volunteer in 2006.
He was named the USGA's general counsel and moved up steadily in the
organization. Nager served in numerous roles, with his most recent being the
vice president and chairman of the Rules of Golf, Commercial and Compensation
committees.
