Terry Clark, a UnitedHealth Group executive and PGA board member since 2024, will lead amid high executive turnover at the organization of 30,000 golf professionals.
- On 2026-03-02, the PGA of America named Terry Clark its next CEO, with Kerry Haigh remaining interim until Clark assumes the role, as announced today.

- Clark's corporate résumé includes leadership at UnitedHealth and Optum, where he served as chief marketing and customer officer and led Optum's sponsorship of The Players Championship, while earlier holding senior roles at IAC/InterActiveCorp.
- Nathan Charnes said Clark earned the board's trust through disciplined leadership and sound judgment, while the PGA board emphasized continuity and long-term focus, and Clark pledged to strengthen culture and empower teams.
- The PGA follows a pattern of selecting board members as CEOs, with Clark's appointment marking the second time in the last three hires, linked to Optum's sponsorship of The Players Championship.
