“It feels like the right time to make the transition out of tour,” said MacRae, who is a four-time winner of the WPGA Championship. “The past season was the first time where playing tournament golf felt a bit of a strain. But I knew I wanted to stay connected to golf and the opportunity to work in a different capacity helping young golfers is something I am relishing.
“When I was coming through the college golf recruitment process, I didn’t have the knowledge to really make an informed decision. So, I am looking forward to helping players and their families by passing on my own insight and experience, with FirstPoint’s fantastic network behind me.
“I am very passionate about supporting young golfers and I’m a big advocate of the collegiate golf system. Playing in the States prepares you well, not only for your professional career, but for life in general. You grow up very quickly, but you have great team-mates and coaches around you.”
