Povich has been a longtime supporter of the MGA Foundation, and in his new role, he will help guide the Foundation’s programs, support fundraising initiatives, and work with fellow board members to further enhance the Foundation’s reach and impact.
“We are delighted to welcome Maury Povich to our Foundation Board of Directors. Maury is a tremendous ambassador for the game and our mission to impact lives through golf, and we’re eager to work with him in his new capacity,” says Ned Zachar, President of the MGA and Chair of the MGA Foundation.
“I feel so honored to be selected as a member of the MGA Foundation Board,” said Povich. “I have been a vigorous supporter of the Foundation for the past 20 years and believe strongly in its mission.
