Longtime golf executive Scott Pritchard will join One Eleven Management Group as a vice-president and partner beginning Jan. 1, 2026.
The move follows Pritchard’s departure from the PGA TOUR, where he spent more than a decade in leadership roles with its Canadian and international development tours.
Pritchard is concluding his tenure as vice-president of PGA TOUR Americas, a position that included oversight of tournament operations and the continued development of the PGA TOUR pathways system across North and South America. This included the Players Cup / Manitoba Open.
Pritchard began his career with the PGA of Canada in 2003 before joining the Canadian Tour in 2011. After the PGA TOUR acquired the Canadian Tour, he was appointed director of tournament business affairs in 2013 and promoted to vice-president in 2017.
His work with the development tours included building partnerships and improving visibility for emerging professional players.
“We worked together early in our careers, so it will be interesting to see that come full circle,” said Jeff Dykeman, founder and CEO of One Eleven Management Group, who confirmed Pritchard’s appointment.
In a statement, Pritchard said the new role will allow him to continue working closely with athletes and properties across the industry.
One Eleven Management Group represents and manages athletes, media personalities and golf-related properties in Canada.
