Entrepreneur and former director of sports marketing for the Golf Channel, Steve Sellery was announced Wednesday as the new executive director of the BMW Charity Pro-Am.

The tournament, presented by SYNNEX Corporation, pairs amateurs and celebrities together for four day competition. Since 2001, the tournament has generated more than $12.7 million in donations to Upstate charities.
