Tom Ryan
Announces
Retirement Plans
O
n Jan. 20, the MGA released the news that Tom Ryan, its
longtime executive director and chief operating officer,
plans to retire from the association following the hiring of a
successor later this year. Ryan, 69, of Minnetonka, Minn., has
served the association for more than two decades, and will
remain onboard through the planned leadership transition.
" It will be quite a change as Tom has been the face of the
MGA for so long and helped guide the association through
many challenges and opportunities " said Ede Rice, president
of the MGA, adding, " His passion for the game has allowed
him to be a thoughtful and transformative leader. He will
be missed. "
A search committee is being formed, and the MGA
has engaged the Orion Search Group, an Edina-based executive
search firm, to assist the committee in filling the leadership
position.
During Ryan's tenure, the golf industry experienced an
extended period of correction following the construction
boom of the late 1980s and 1990s, an economic downturn
after the 2009 financial crisis, a myriad of new technologies
that impacted how golfers participated in the game and interacted
with their fellow golfers, leagues and golf clubs, and a
resurgence of golfer participation during and immediately
after the COVID pandemic in 2020.
Locally, the game of golf drives significant economic activity,
representing $2.3 billion in direct and induced economic
output, 24,933 jobs, $743 million in wages, and $201.3 million
in state and local taxes. Beginning in 2019, Minnesota
golf facilities saw a slight uptick in golfer participation of 0.2
percent. With the pandemic curtailing many activities the
following year,
golf represented an outdoor activity easily
adapted to social distancing guidelines, and golfer participation
soared 29.1 percent. Thanks to favorable weather in 2021,
as well as a longer season, golfer participation ticked up an
additional 4.4 percent.
Likewise, over the same period individual MGA Associate
Memberships steadily increased from 69,375 in 2019 to 83,340
at the end of 2022, an annual average growth rate of 6.4 percent.
" Minnesota golf is thriving, and the MGA is well positioned
to continue its growth with an enhanced mission of Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion, ensuring that we welcome all golfers to
the game, " Rice said.
In addition to the leadership transition, the MGA has
plans to relocate to a new suite space within the Southdale
Professional Center, from suite 211 to suite 411 (6550 York
Ave. South, Edina, MN 55435), effective in March.
" Tom's passion for the
game has allowed him
to be a thoughtful and
transformative leader.
He will be missed. "
