As part of the fun surrounding our 50th anniversary, Golfweek has been walking down Memory Lane with a number of former employees who helped make the brand what it is today.
We continue the series with one of the many great photographers who have worked with Golfweek. Tracy Wilcox spent more than a decade doing high-profile cover and feature shoots before leaving to work with the PGA Tour.
When did you work at Golfweek?
2007-2016
What was your Golfweek title, and give us a brief description of what you did.
Director of Photography: traveled photographing golf, coaches, players on a variety of tours. Did a variety of instructional pieces as well with pros, amateurs and college players.
What’s your current title and company?
Manager Photography: PGA Tour
What’s the one moment you’re proudest of while working with Golfweek?
Working on the Women in Golf issue, not sure exact title of that. It was more of a fashion enterprise with some of the LPGA golfers and Beth Ann Nichols.
What’s the ‘hair-on-fire’ moment you remember most vividly?
Too many in career to count, lol. The one that stands out in my time at Golfweek was waiting, camping out in front of Isleworth, with all the other media, hoping to get photos of Tiger Woods after the cheating scandal and “golf club” incident.
What’s your favorite golf course you’ve played and why?
Probably has to be Plantation Kapalua Course in Maui. So many places yet to go and play. Never had the opportunity to play any courses bigger than Kapalua.
(Editor’s note: We appreciate all the former employees who have contributed time and effort to this feature. The golf journalism community is a small one and we’re proud of the achievements of all our former colleagues.)
