ATLANTA (June 5, 2006) – Srixon Sports announces today the hiring of Jason Hause as its new Nationwide Tour /Developmental Player manager. Hause will be responsible for identifying, recruiting and managing up-and-coming players for Srixon’s Nationwide Tour staff and joins the ever-growing Srixon presence on the professional tours.
Hause comes to Srixon with extensive experience as both a professional golfer and excellent evaluator of talent. After a collegiate career at Arizona State, which included a 1996 National Championship and time spent playing various tours including the Nationwide Tour, Hause worked as a player manager for Hambric Sports Management, one of the golf world’s renowned player management firms. While at Hambric Sports, he was tasked with the specific responsibilities of scouting and recruiting collegiate stars and other up-and-coming players. Most recently, he was responsible for recruiting players for the Big Stakes Match Play event at Highline Sports and Entertainment.
"Jason is an encyclopedia of knowledge with regard to the newest generation of collegians and tour players," said Mike Pai, Srixon’s Vice President, Marketing & Advertising. "His eye for evaluating talent, and his relationship with many of today’s fine young players cultivated during his years at Hambric Sports will be a huge asset to our growing tour presence in the U.S. Jason also gives an added measure of credibility with this group of players since he has competed with them on the Nationwide Tour. I think it also makes a statement about Srixon’s dedication to the Nationwide Tour and its significance to the future of our brand," added Pai.
Hause graduated from Arizona State University in 2000 with a degree in Finance and currently resides in Dallas.
