This marks a return for Harry, who originally worked for Callaway Golf from 2012-2019.

“I've long believed Callaway is one of the truly iconic brands in all of sports."
Establishing a consumer-focused approach
Harry first joined Callaway Golf as SVP of Marketing and Brand Management in 2012, before going on to take on a role as Executive Vice President at Callaway Brands in 2018.
In 2019, he went on to co-found performance lifestyle and athleisure apparel brand Municipal, along with Stephen Levinson and Mark Wahlberg. He has held the role of CEO of Municipal for close to seven years, announcing in October 2026 that he had made the decision to step down.
āWe are very excited to have Harry return home to his Callaway family,ā says Chip Brewer, President and CEO of Callaway.
āHarry brings a rare combination of creative vision, commercial instinct and a deep understanding of the golf consumer. During Harry's first chapter with Callaway, he helped establish a more modern, consumer-focused approach to brand building and demand creation that contributed to Callaway's resurgence as a leader in the golf industry.
āDuring that time, our US hard goods dollar market share, as reported by Golf DataTech, increased over 1,000 basis points to 24.0%, we reclaimed the number one US club brand position from 2015-2020 and we began our market share climb in golf balls that continues to this day. We are excited about what we can accomplish together in this next chapter.ā
