Summit Golf Brands hosts The Summit at Pebble Beach, recognizes 2025 Salesperson of the Year

Summit Golf Brands, parent company of B. Draddy, Zero Restriction, and Fairway & Greene, is proud to announce the successful completion of The Summit at Pebble Beach. The 54-hole, pro-member tournament at Spyglass Hill and Pebble Beach is the organization’s signature annual event, bringing together key members of the company, valued advisors, and distinguished club partners for a week of golf, collaboration, and celebration at one of the game’s most iconic venues.

Hosted each April at Pebble Beach Resorts, The Summit has become one of Summit Golf Brands’ most cherished traditions. The event welcomes leading clubs from across the United States and abroad, with this year’s field including seven new participating teams and three international teams.

This year’s event also served as the backdrop for recognizing Evan Ives as Summit Golf Brands’ 2025 Salesperson of the Year. In just his second full year with the company, Ives became the fastest representative in company history to earn the honor, following a standout performance across strategic partnerships including Pebble Beach, Cypress Point, and events such as the Walker Cup and the U.S. Amateur at The Olympic Club. The annual award includes an invitation to The Summit at Pebble Beach, making the recognition especially meaningful given Ives’ direct impact and success at the venue.

Of the entire field, ten Advisory Board members participated, along with Summit Golf Brands executive leadership. Throughout the event, participants experienced a range of weather conditions, providing the perfect opportunity to put Summit Golf Brands’ premium outerwear and performance apparel to the test.

“Each year, The Summit at Pebble Beach is an opportunity to bring together the people who help drive our wholesale business forward at a world-renowned destination,” said Jack Lessing, President of Summit Golf Brands. “This event serves as a moment to say thanks to some of our most trusted wholesale partners from across the world who go the extra mile for our brands. Recognizing our Salesperson of the Year, Evan Ives, in this setting made the week even more special.”

“To be named Salesperson of the Year is an incredible honor, especially so early in my time with Summit Golf Brands,” said Evan Ives. “This company has given me tremendous support, and I’m grateful for the relationships that made this possible. Having the opportunity to celebrate at The Summit made the recognition even more meaningful.”

Competition throughout the week produced several standout performances and memorable finishes. Ekwanok won the top prize of one best ball net and one best ball gross, and Seminole won the two best ball gross. Low Pro was won by Matt Cahill from Seminole, and John Daly from The Creek made a hole-in-one at The Hay.
