Glover spent five years as the CEO of Tennis South Africa, whilst his experience also spans roles with Frontiers Sport and Entertainment, Cricket South Africa, and Arsenal F.C.
“Stinger GC is a team with a truly authentic South African heartbeat – down to earth and friendly, they love to have fun, while playing as hard as they can on the golf course,” said Glover. “I am excited to collaborate with Louis and the rest of the team to build Stinger GC into a sustainable sporting brand – one that has a global reach, whilst also maintaining a deep connection with South Africa.”
At Stinger GC, Glover plans to “leverage his extensive background to drive team success, bringing a strategic vision and strong leadership presence to the South African franchise.”
Each team’s General Manager will manage the operational and strategic aspects of their teams, including daily operations, sponsorship sales, marketing, and player relations.
The Stinger GC team is currently made up of team captain Louis Oosthuizen, Charl Schwartzel, Dean Burmester, and Branden Grace.
