LIV names Phillipps CFO amid slew of exec moves

LIV Golf later today is expected to announce a number of personnel moves, including naming former Endeavor executive David Phillipps as its new CFO. Additionally, LIV has named Ross Hallett EVP & Head of Events and Katie O’Reilly EVP & Head of Team Business Operations. LIV also named Tim Taylor to a new EVP role in which he will lead the league’s London office, while Pam Sacree was named Head of HR.

Phillipps was previously the CFO at Equinox Group and prior to that was the SVP/Finance at Endeavor. He will report to LIV CEO and Commissioner Greg Norman. Hallett was an SVP in the golf events division for IMG and will report to COO Lawrence Burian. O’Reilly, whose move to LIV was first reported by Sportico last week, was most recently the CRO of the 76ers. O’Reilly, a 2024 SBJ Forty Under 40 selection, will also report to Burian.

Taylor had been LIV’s CFO for its first two years of existence. All positions will be based in LIV’s N.Y. or London offices and are expected to begin work in the coming weeks.
