Kai Sato sits down with 8AM Golf President, Hoyt McGarity, who got his start working as a caddy in the Hamptons long before he could even drive a car.




Hoyt was a stand-out collegiate golfer at Lynn University and played competitively on various professional tours. He co-founded Modern Golf in 2011, a Canadian club fitting company, then became CEO of True Spec Golf in 2014, a brand agnostic club fitting company. In 2017, Hoyt assumed the role of President and CEO of Miura Golf. Soon after, Howard Milstein acquired True Spec and GOLF and consolidated his golf investments into a holding company, 8AM Golf, where Hoyt became President. His role includes creating, communicating, and implementing 8AM’s vision, mission and direction. Hoyt has created synergies and efficiencies throughout 8AM and pursues the highest quality everywhere.
