Summary
It has been a family affair in golf for Kevin Hammer, who has just begun a two-year term as USGA President. His Dad, Laurie, won a PGA Tour event with Ryder Cup Captain and PGA Champion Dave Stockton, then went on to a 40-year career as the PGA of America Head Professional at Delray Dunes Golf and Country Club in Florida. Kevin, who played golf collegiately at the University of Florida, talks about the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, the golf ball rollback, and the exciting USGA initiatives. You'll also hear from PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp on the six themes that have emerged as the Tour looks to overhaul itself, perhaps starting next year!
