Ted Bishop

PGA Professional
38th President of the PGA of America
General Manager

Ted Bishop has been the General Partner and PGA General Manager at The Legends Golf Club since its inception in 1991. He oversaw the construction of the golf course and worked closely with Jim Fazio, golf course architect.

Bishop served as the 38th President of the PGA of America in 2013-14. During his term many PGA milestones took place.“Ted Bishop’s progressive term as president of the PGA of America seemed to pack 10 years into two and raised the profile and prestige of the organization. Golf is better with Ted Bishop in it,” said Jamie Diaz, Golf Channel.
He named Tom Watson as the 2014 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain for the matches at Gleneagles in Scotland. Bishop became the voice for recreational golfers when he led the PGA’s opposition to the USGA ban on the anchored stroke. He quickly formed a close relationship with then PGA Tour Commissioner, Tim Finchem, and the two organizations became allies with a strong working relationship. 
 
Bishop broke the mold and named public golf courses as host sites for the PGA’s major events. Bethpage Black became the site of the 2019 PGA Championship as well as the 2024 Ryder Cup. Harding Park in San Francisco was tabbed for the 2020 PGA Championship. He resurrected a strained relationship between the PGA and Arnold Palmer with the formation of the Deacon Palmer Award which is presented annually to a PGA professional who has overcome a major obstacle in their career. Bishop’s final impact as PGA President was the formation of the Ryder Cup Task Force which has produced dramatic changes for the U.S. team’s entire process.
 
A 1976 graduate of Purdue University, Bishop has twice been awarded the Sagamore of the Wabash by the Governor of Indiana. This is the highest honor a citizen of the Hoosier state can receive. He was inducted into the Indiana Golf Hall of Fame in 2014. Bishop was named as the Indiana PGA Professional of the Year in 1998 and has received numerous Section awards. He was also inducted into the Logansport High School Hall of Distinction as well as the Linton, IN Hall of Fame where he served as golf professional of the Phil Harris GC from 1976-’92. 
 
Bishop has been married to wife, Cindy, for 43 years. The couple has two daughters who were standout golfers. Ashely Davidson, played at Kansas University and currently serves as the Membership and Event Director at The Legends GC. She and her husband, Ted, have two children Reid (12) and Remy (8). Ambry Santillo, is the Bishop’s youngest daughter. She played at Indiana University. Ambry has been the women’s golf coach at St. Johns University in NY since 2004. She is the PGA assistant professional at Saint Andrews GC, America’s oldest club located in the Met PGA.
