Lindley purchases Professional Golf Management, Inc. from Paul Bergen, Founder

Matthew Lindley, Partner in Professional Golf Management, Inc. since April 2012, has purchased the golf and hospitality management company from the founder and previous owner Paul Bergen. The terms of the sale are undisclosed.

While Lindley will be at the helm of the company Bergen will stay involved in the role of Vice President of Business Development where he will assist in the strategic growth plan set forth in early 2012. When asked about the transition Bergen said, “It is an exciting time for PGM and for me to watch the company evolve to meet the changing needs in the industry. Under Matt’s direction, I am certain that the vision that I had for the company 23 years ago will be achieved and will become a leader in the industry.”

“Paul (Bergen) has laid the groundwork to take the company to the next level”, said Lindley.  “His reputation in the industry as an excellent operator and long list of satisfied clients is the foundation on which new business will be generated.”

Prior to his involvement with PGM, Lindley was Vice President of Resort Activities at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort where he had been employed since 1991.  During that time Lindley was also Regional Vice President of Intrawest Golf from 2000 to 2006 where he managed as many as 13 golf courses throughout the United States.
