Richard Glover named General Manager of Stinger GC

LIV Golf today announced the official hires of five team General Managers who bring decades of leadership and business experience from across sports, entertainment and media industries. Each team’s General Manager role will manage the operational and strategic aspects of their teams, including daily operations, sponsorship sales, marketing, and player relations.

Boasting extensive backgrounds from baseball, golf, tennis, and esports, these leaders will focus on leveraging their experience to set strategic direction and build sustained growth and long-term success, both on and off the course. On par with LIV Golf’s mission to grow the game globally, these new leaders represent five different countries – Australia, Korea, South Africa, Sweden, and the United States.

Richard Glover brings over 20 years of expertise in sports management, strategic planning, and commercial delivery to his new role as the General Manager of Stinger GC, which he will assume in October. He currently serves as a Vice President at the ATP Tour, the global governing body for men’s professional tennis. In this capacity, Glover oversees special projects and the men's professional player pathway with strategic, budgetary, and revenue responsibilities for the ATP Challenger Tour, which spans 46 countries.

Glover’s impressive career includes five years as the CEO of Tennis South Africa, where he led the organization through significant growth and development. His experience also spans roles with Frontiers Sport and Entertainment, Cricket South Africa, and Arsenal F.C., each of which has contributed to his robust understanding of sports operations and team management. His career is marked by a commitment to fostering athletic excellence and driving commercial success.

“Stinger GC is a team with a truly authentic South African heartbeat – down to earth and friendly, they love to have fun, while playing as hard as they can on the golf course,” says Glover. “I am excited to collaborate with Louis and the rest of the team to build Stinger GC into a sustainable sporting brand – one that has a global reach, whilst also maintaining a deep connection with South Africa."

At Stinger GC, Glover will leverage his extensive background to drive team success, bringing a strategic vision and strong leadership presence to the South African franchise.
