As our new head of content, his formidable skills and knowledge will help us build on our recent work with Team Europe at the Ryder Cup. Alongside our existing team of world-class analysts, he will provide an even better service to our golf clients, which include Rory McIlroy and the sport\u2019s governing bodies, media powerhouses and global sponsors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Justin has twelve years\u2019 experience covering professional golf. After receiving multiple sports writing scholarships from the Texas Golf Writers Association, he graduated from the Missouri School of Journalism in 2007. He has since become a compelling voice in the world of golf statistics and storytelling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI am delighted to join a company that\u2019s uniquely positioned to impact the future of golf across many different platforms\u201d, Justin commented. He will take up his new role at the beginning of March, with the objective of bringing golf fans closer to their sport by engaging them with a wealth of fascinating data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chief commercial officer, Dan Zelezinski, said, \u201cJustin\u2019s education, experience and passion for golf made him the standout candidate. He will complement an already phenomenally talented team and we can\u2019t wait to see the opportunities that emerge from the confluence of enhanced statistics, storytelling, technology and global distribution channels\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  style='height:30px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_button '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last ' ><a href='https:\/\/www.twentyfirstgroup.com\/company-news\/'  class='avia-button  avia-color-dark   avia-icon_select-no avia-size-x-large avia-position-center '   ><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >BACK TO COMPANY NEWS<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  column-top-margin\" style='border-radius:0px; '><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2628,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_oasis_is_in_workflow":0,"_oasis_original":0,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
