David Griffith David Griffith was the Tournament Director for the Northern Ohio PGA (NOPGA) for 20 years. It was only natural that when longtime NOPGA Executive Director, Dominic Antenucci retired in 2020, Griffith was named to take his place. As the Executive Director of the NOPGA Griffith manages the NOPGA Section’s operations, programs and services. He along with his Board of Directors help define and guide the PGA’s vision for growing the game throughout Northern Ohio as well as supporting its more than 450 members. Patrick Salva Patrick Salva has served as the Executive Director of the Southern Ohio Section of PGA (SOPGA), since 2020. He returned to Ohio after holding various roles within the Colorado PGA for 12 years. He is an Ohio native, growing up in Fredricktown and receiving both his undergraduate degree in Sports Management, plus a Masters in Sports Administration from Ohio University. His duties with the SOPGA include, tournament management, support for PGA members, plus overseeing PGA Reach, PGA Hope, PGA Jr. League and PGA Works within Southern Ohio. Todd Johnson Todd Johnson was the Greater Cincinnati Golf Association’s (GCGA) Tournament Director for 11 years before becoming the Executive Director, in 2014.

The GCGA was founded in 1905, conducts a complete tournament schedule, provides course ratings and works with the USGA to provide the GHIN handicap system to its membership. When he is not involved with GCGA, Todd is the Head Coach for the Lebanon Warrior’s Golf Team. Jack Nicklaus What more can be said about the ‘Golden Bear?’ He is one of the greatest golfers to have ever lived. With 18 major championships and a successful golf design business, he along with his wife have raised millions of dollars for children’s hospitals both in Columbus, Ohio, and Southeastern Florida. His Muirfield Village Golf Club is recognized as one of the best in the country and annually hosts the best golfers in the world for The Memorial Tournament. Jack seems to be always giving his time to a worthy cause within Ohio and the Muirfield development in Dublin has had an enormous positive financial effect on the economy of the entire area.
