He is the first African American and Texan to serve in this role and is proud to expand and nurture diversity and inclusion in the game. “We talk too much about what separates us and not enough about what unites us. In golf, we're a community,” said Perpall. “When we lean in together, when we include more people in the game, not only will the game get better, but our lives will get better, too.” A native of Nassau, Bahamas, Perpall played on the 1994 Bahamian National Basketball Team. He moved to the U.S. to attend the University of Texas at Arlington, earning a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Architecture. He is also an alumnus of Harvard Business School's Advanced Management Program and is a former Americas Fellow at Rice University's Baker Institute.
