Jerry West To Direct LA Golf Tournament Required fields are marked with an asterisk() KCAL Basketball great Jerry West is coming out of a
retirement to join the PGA Tour. No, not as a player. And even though “Mr. Clutch” once shot a 63 at Bel-Air Country Club, his silhouette is not about to become the new PGA Tour logo as it is for the NBA.
West, who spent his entire Hall of Fame career with the Los Angeles Lakers, was hired Thursday as the executive director of the Northern Trust Open at Riviera. His job will be to help raise the profile and charitable donations of the tour’s event in Los Angeles.
