Casey Brozek the new Medinah Country Club Director of Golf, talks about returning to Illinois from Florida by joining Medinah Country Club.

HE’S BACK !

Seven years after he left for the warmer pastures of the Sunshine State of Florida, Casey Brozek returns back to where he started from-the State of Illinois and the Illinois PGA Section.

Brozek is reversing he trend of seeing Illinois PGA Section professionals departing for warmer pastures, mostly Florida by coming back to Illinois.

Golfers on Golf spoke with Brozek about the decision to return to Illinois. Plus what the next three years at Medinah Country Club look like. Because 2024 will see the reopening of Medinah #3 from renovation. 2025 Medinah celebrates it’s 100th anniversary and Centennial.

2026 bring the Presidents Cup, and a chance for the USA to finally win a major team championship at Medinah Country Club. Some 14 years after the shocking loss in the 2021 Ryder Cup to Team Europe.

Brozek is a former IPGA Section President (during the 2012 Ryder Cup year). So might he consider running for national office at the PGA or America. All this and more as Illinois welcomes Brozek to Medinah and back to the Land of Lincoln.
