ABOUT TIM FINCHEM

Timothy W. Finchem is the third Commissioner of the PGA TOUR. Finchem joined the TOUR staff as Vice President of Business Affairs in 1987 and then became Deputy Commissioner and Chief Operating Officer of the TOUR in 1989.  Finchem has been Commissioner of the TOUR since June 1, 1994.

As Commissioner, Finchem has greatly expanded the earnings opportunities for PGA TOUR players domestically and internationally. He also has taken leadership roles in the formation of the International Federation of PGA Tours and the World Golf Foundation, Inc. His personal dedication to the success of the World Golf Foundation's First Tee initiative has helped that program achieve its initial objectives in developing facilities that will have an impact on the game for years to come.

"Our primary purpose as a membership organization is to create outstanding playing and earnings opportunities for our players," Finchem says, "and we are proud of what our tournaments do for charity (more than $1 billion raised) and the active role we have been able to take as an organization in growing the game for future generations."

Born in Ottawa, Ill., Finchem graduated from the University of Richmond receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1969. He graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1973. After practicing law in Virginia Beach for three years, Finchem served in the White House as Deputy Advisor to the President in the Office of Economic Affairs in 1978 and 1979. In the early 1980s, Finchem co-founded the National Marketing and Strategies Group in Washington, D.C.

Finchem is recipient of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America's Old Tom Morris Award for 2001 and the PGA of America's Distinguished Service Award for 2002.
