The USTA has announced that Jim Curley, presently Chief Professional Tournaments Officer & U.S. Open Tournament Director, is stepping down from his position. Curley will remain as a consultant to the USTA through the 2012 U.S. Open. Deputy Tournament Director David Brewer, a 14-year USTA employee, has been elevated to U.S. Open Tournament Director and also will oversee the USTA’s professional tennis operations.

“It has been a privilege to lead the USTA’s efforts in professional tennis,” said Curley. “My decision to step down after more than 10 years was a difficult one, but I believe it is time for a change.”

David Brewer, currently Managing Director, Professional Tennis Operations, joined the USTA in 1997. In addition to U.S. Open Tournament Director, his responsibilities will include oversight of the U.S. Open Series, all U.S. Team events including Davis Cup, Fed Cup and the Olympics, USTA Pro Circuit and all aspects of the USTA’s professional tennis division. In his new position, Brewer will report directly to USTA COO and Executive Director Gordon Smith.

“Jim is an exemplary professional who has helped to elevate the US Open during his decade-long stewardship of the event,” said USTA Chairman of the Board and President Jon Vegosen. “We are disappointed in his decision to step down, but are confident that David will continue to build on Jim’s legacy of growth and innovation.”
