SCOTTSDALE, AZ (August 28, 2025) – Miura Golf, manufacturer of the world’s finest forged golf clubs, is pleased to announce that it has appointed Anthony Newville as the company’s new president.
Newville joins Miura after serving as Chief Operating Officer at True Spec Golf for almost two years. Newville brings with him extensive leadership experience in the golf industry.
World-renowned craftsman Katsuhiro Miura began hand-crafting and grinding irons in 1957 and has created one of the most-respected brands in the golf industry. Now led by sons Shinei and Yoshitaka, each Miura golf club is individually handcrafted in Himeji, Japan and will never be mass-produced.
"When selecting a new president for Miura Golf, we prioritized a candidate with a strong history of nurturing key partner relationships and deep operational expertise," said Lawrence Place, COO of 8AM Golf. "Having collaborated with Anthony as both a vendor partner and an executive within one of our companies, he perfectly meets all our criteria."
Place added, “I’m confident that Anthony’s superior interpersonal skills will allow him to successfully navigate increasingly complex internal and external relationships to build a network of trusted partners for Miura.”
Newville, who prior to heading up True Spec also held positions at Golf Channel and Callaway Golf, shared his appreciation for both the cherished Miura Golf brand, and the opportunity he now has to lead it into the future.
“I’m honored to join Miura Golf as President. It’s a privilege to work alongside a team so devoted to tradition—and to serve our customers with industry-leading care and attention to detail,” said Newville. “I'm grateful to be part of a brand with such a rich past—and inspired to help shape its future.”
“Miura is more than a name—it’s a symbol of uncompromised craftsmanship and a deep commitment to precision. Every club that leaves our factory in Japan is hand-finished by master craftsmen, carrying forward Katsuhiro Miura's legacy of forging excellence built over decades,” Newville added.
