Longtime PGA Tour Superstore CEO to retire
The chief executive of a fast-growing golf retailer is stepping down.
Dick Sullivan, executive chairman and CEO of PGA Tour Superstore, has announced he will retire from his day-to-day CEO role with the company later this summer. A global search for a new CEO has begun, and Sullivan will remain CEO until a new leader is in place and continue as executive chairman of the company into the future.
Sullivan has led PGA Tour Superstore since the 10-store operation was acquired by The Home Depot co-founder Arthur M. Blank in 2010. Prior to the CEO role, Sullivan served as the executive VP of the Atlanta Falcons (which Blank acquired in 2002) for more than seven years. He served as the chief marketing officer of The Home Depot for more than 10 years prior to his stint with the NFL franchise.
PGA Tour Superstore currently operates 76 stores in 28 states, and plans to open 16 more stores by the end of 2026. The company says it achieved record revenues in fiscal 2024 and has continued to gain market share early in 2025.

"The remarkable story of PGA Tour Superstore has been the result of a clear vision, outstanding work by the leadership team and our associates, as well as a strong and critical partnership with the PGA Tour," said Blank, owner and chairman of PGA Tour Superstore. "Dick has been a trusted leader, colleague, and friend for over three decades, and his leadership of PGA Tour Superstore has been a key catalyst for our success. Over our years together at The Home Depot, the Atlanta Falcons and now PGATSS, Dick has led us to outstanding results and built foundations of success that enabled very bright futures for all three organizations. I cannot be any more thankful for Dick's tenure as the leader of PGA Tour Superstore, and as we approach $1 billion in revenue, it is clear our new leader will be inheriting an extraordinarily strong company poised for more exciting growth."
Sullivan’s career alongside Blank spans a total of 33 years. He was named A Most Admired CEO by the Atlanta Business Chronicle in 2021, and also became the first retailer ever selected as chairman of the National Golf Foundation during his tenure at PGA Tour Superstore.
"It has truly been the honor of a lifetime to be associated with Arthur Blank and the incredible businesses he has created and led on the foundation of core values that align with my own," said Sullivan. "Arthur has always been a source of great wisdom professionally and personally and the culture he has fostered has been a bedrock foundation of our success. I will cherish the many wonderful colleagues and friends that have been part of this amazing journey and will be forever grateful for what they have poured into me and our businesses. I am very bullish on the future of golf and the PGA Tour Superstore, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to stay connected to both and all of Arthur's businesses as a trustee."
PGA Tour Superstore is operated by Golf & Tennis Pro Shop, Inc., a subsidiary of AMB Sports and Entertainment, and is headquartered in metro-Atlanta.
