DALLAS – Ken May, leader of U.S. operations for global sports entertainment brand Topgolf, announced he is retiring this month following his four-year tenure with the company. Topgolf Entertainment Group (the dba for Topgolf International, Inc.) Co-Chairman and CEO Erik Anderson will assume May's responsibilities.
"We are forever grateful for Ken's countless contributions and achievements, as he helped shape the Topgolf culture and drive our growth," said Anderson. "While Ken will be greatly missed, Topgolf has a strong and well-rounded leadership team. Rest assured, anyone who is recruited for a Topgolf leadership role will be a very special individual who embraces our Topgolf culture."
May, 56, came out of retirement in August 2013 when he joined Topgolf as COO.

"Working for Topgolf has been one of the greatest joys of my life, and I am very proud of the company's incredible growth and passion for bringing people together and creating moments that matter," May said. "I look forward to cheering on the company as it begins this new chapter."
