Tour Edge appointed long-time golf industry leader Tim Clarke as president, effective August 5. Previously, Clarke was with Wilson Golf for over 25 years and was president of the brand from 2006 until 2023.
Tour Edge also announced that current President David Glod will become CEO with the new hire. Glod remains the majority owner and chief golf club designer of the brand, which he founded in 1986.
Clarke has served as executive vice president in the Golf Division of Perry Ellis International for the past year, managing the Original Penguin, Callaway, PGA Tour, Nicklaus, and Perry Ellis brands in the United States.
“To say we are excited about Tim joining our team would be an understatement,” said Glod. “We’re getting one of golf’s most respected and well-liked leaders and putting all his talents and focus into our sales and marketing efforts. This is a total coup for us to get Tim, and it should have a huge impact for us moving forward.”
In his new role, Clarke will oversee worldwide golf sales, strategic planning and operations for Tour Edge.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be joining the Tour Edge family and getting back to my roots in hard good sales and in the Chicagoland area,” said Clarke. “I have watched Tour Edge from afar for many years, and always marveled at their ability to maneuver deftly in the rough and tough hard-goods arena and to create world-class products that can stand up to anyone in golf. I look forward to jumping right in and taking this global golf brand to all-new heights in distribution and service to our growing list of retail partners.”
In 2024, Tour Edge is celebrating 38 years as a golf club and bag manufacturer serving the global golf market. Tour Edge is an American-owned and operated company out of Batavia, IL that manufactures and sells golf clubs under three distinct sub-brands: Exotics, Hot Launch and “Get in the Game” products.
