SCOTTSBORO, AL – Unified Pros announced today the third addition to its Athlete Advisory Board, retired PGA Tour pro Brett Wetterich. The advisory board will consist of a representative from the NFL, MLB, NBA, PGA and the professional fishing world. Retired NFL defensive tackle Bill Maas and former MLB pitcher Josh Beckett were previously announced as board members.
Wetterich played on the PGA Tour from 2000-2010 and led the Masters at the halfway point in 2007. Wetterich draws the connection between the sports of golf and fishing, saying “It’s not hard to understand why so many pro golfers also love to fish. The pace, strategy and individual nature of both sports are very similar. Unified Pros will undoubtedly draw many professional golfers looking for a fun and productive way to spend their time off the course.”
Unified Pros is a nonprofit alliance of professional athletes. Through sanctioned competitions, charity events and membership, the organization aims to elevate a love for outdoor competition while raising awareness for fisheries, habitats and their continued conservation. Unified Pros envisions an inclusive world where athletes collaborate and compete in the outdoor arena to create transformative experiences that make a lasting impact on individuals, communities, professional athletes and the sport of bass fishing.
