Today, IMG Academy announced the addition of renowned PGA Advanced Fellow Professional and former tournament player Kevin Craggs as Director of Golf. In his role, Craggs will oversee all aspects of the IMG Academy golf program for boarding school, camps, professional training, and events.

“This was an incredible opportunity to oversee the development of so many talented, passionate players from all across the globe,” said Craggs. “IMG Academy has a unique culture and community of athletic and academic development and is equipped with resources unmatched by most professional golf facilities. I’m excited to have the opportunity to continue IMG’s tradition of developing players to excel at the next stage of their career.”
