S2E10: Childhood Friends, Grown-Up Goals (feat. Craig Kessler)

What happens when two childhood friends sit down to talk about growing up together, where their careers have taken them, what they’ve learned about leadership, and the game they’ve loved along the way?

Tune in this week to find out, as Derek is joined by long-time friend and current LPGA Commissioner Craig Kessler. Hear about the unique way that Derek and Craig met as teenagers, how Craig is reshaping the LPGA around a bold vision for growth, and why his mom’s minivan had over 150,000 miles on it before he even left for college.

Part leadership conversation, part trip down memory lane… and a whole lot of golf.
