Grass League Appoints Michael Prindiville as New President to Drive Growth

Grass League Announces New Leadership

Grass League, a rapidly expanding par-3 golf league, has officially appointed Michael Prindiville as its President, signaling a new chapter in its journey towards growth and increased fan engagement. With a wealth of experience in modern sports and media businesses, Prindiville aims to elevate the league’s profile and enhance its competitive structure.

In his new role, Prindiville is set to oversee all business operations while steering strategic decisions aimed at enriching the competitive landscape of the league. His vision for Grass League reflects a commitment to not only providing thrilling golf spectacles but also fostering a deeper connection with fans and sponsors alike. As he stated, "Grass League is already an incredible spectator experience. I saw that firsthand at the Championships last December."

Prindiville envisions a future where fan interaction is at the forefront of the golfing experience, allowing spectators and brand partners to influence various aspects of the product — from live broadcasts to elements of competition. His objective is to cultivate a more engaging environment in which fans feel they can actively participate in the league's evolution.

Bringing with him an impressive track record from previous leadership positions at renowned organizations such as NBC Sports and Harris Blitzer Sports Entertainment, Prindiville has demonstrated mastery in scaling sports entities. His expertise lies at the intersection of media, fandom, and live experiences, which aligns perfectly with the Grass League’s ambitions.

Jake Hoselton, Co-Founder of Grass League, expressed confidence in Prindiville’s capabilities, remarking, "His leadership, operating discipline, and understanding of how emerging leagues scale make him the right leader to guide Grass League into its next phase of growth."

In just two short years, Grass League has established itself as an 11-franchise league backed by ownership groups featuring professional athletes and notable figures within the golf community. Franchises not only have seen valuations soaring over eightfold but also record-breaking attendance, with event gates exceeding 15,000 fans. The league has successfully secured more than ten brand partnerships, showcasing impressive renewal rates alongside selling out open qualifiers within mere hours.

Prindiville's immediate priorities also include broadening the league’s live broadcast innovations and enhancing digital media strategies to amplify fan engagement as Grass League continues to grow. The upcoming 2026 season is set to commence on April 22, featuring the final open qualifier at the league's home course, Grass Clippings Rolling Hills in Tempe, Arizona. This dynamic kickoff will lead into golf's only live draft on April 23, where 44 golfers from the qualifier will be allocated to the league's 11 teams. Following this, the highly anticipated $100,000 purse Grass Clippings Open is scheduled for April 24-25, with tickets available through the league’s official website.

Grass League is not just redefining how the game is played but is also carving out a unique niche within the world of sports. By focusing on an interactive and fan-forward format, Grass League reimagines the short-format competition as a significant standalone sport that caters to both live audiences and digital platforms. With Michael Prindiville at the helm, the league is poised to reach new heights, promising an exciting future for players and fans alike.
