The 72-year-old honorary PGA Member, who is Executive Head Professional just over the border from his native Wales at Carden Park Hotel, Cheshire, will succeed David Scott in late March 2026

The Association’s Chairman, Alan White, said: “He’s excelled as a coach, played and won at the game’s highest level, managed golf clubs, and been an inspiration to injured servicemen in helping them overcome their disabilities and get into the game. There is no doubt he will be a credit to the Association before, during and after his captaincy.”

Sustained by an unwavering passion for the game that he adores, PGA Pro Alan Tait continues to work tirelessly to improve the playing opportunities for women in golf - with his latest initiative, the Scottish Women’s Amateur Tour (SWAT), offering women of varied handicaps the chance to compete at world-class venues across Scotland.
