Fred Ridley took over as chairman of Augusta National Golf Club
in the fall of 2017, and in those short eight years, he has enacted
significant change down Magnolia Lane. Under Ridley's watch,
Augusta National has become the clear North Star of the major golf
governing bodies and organizations. The club deftly has handled
challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and has played it down the
middle with LIV Golf. It also has become further ingrained in the
Augusta community through initiatives such as its "Patch
Project" to strengthen the local golf scene. The club
introduced its
Map & Flag hospitality offering in 2024 and will debut
its new Players Services Building at the 2026 Masters.
