S2 Ep. 4 - Mac Barnhardt, PGA Player Management

S2 Ep. 4 (almost over)

This episode’s guest, Mac Barnhardt, is a longtime agent and performance coach. Over the past 25 years, Mac has represented some of the most well-known and accomplished players in golf.

Mac played collegiate golf at High Point University in the mid-80s. After college, he worked in the airline industry before taking a position at Pros Incorporated, a legendary agency created by Vinny Giles that represented the likes of Tom Kite, Lanny Wadkins, Davis Love the third, David Duval, and Justin Leonard.

Pros Inc. was purchased by Octagon in the late 90s, and in 2003 Mac left to be Davis Love’s full-time agent and create his own agency, Crown Sports Management. Mac also helped establish Sea Island as an epicenter for Tour pros and attracted talented players such as Jonathan Byrd, Lucas Glover, Brandt Snedeker, and Brian Harman.

In 2013 Crown merged with Lagardere Sports. Since leaving Lagardere in 2018, Mac has set out to reinvent the sports management approach with his new company Rock Sports by helping professional golfers maintain purpose, focus, and balance both on and off the course.
