Roberto Castro has been appointed as Vice President at Omni Hotels & Resorts
Omni Hotels & Resorts, the official hotel partner of the PGA Tour and PGA of America, is proud to announce Roberto Castro as its Vice President of the Omni Golf Collection. The appointment reflects Omni’s continued evolution of golf as a core component of its hospitality business, strengthening its position as a world-class destination golf brand by connecting championship-caliber courses with the service, amenities and experiences that define an Omni stay.
A nine-year PGA Tour veteran with extensive experience in business strategy, technology and sports media, Castro will work closely with the established corporate golf leadership team Spencer Cody (Corporate Director of Club & Golf Operations) and Scott Abernathy (Corporate Director of Agronomy). Together they will guide portfolio-wide strategy, enhance operational performance and support the continued growth of the Omni Golf Collection. He will also oversee the brand’s key golf partnerships, identify opportunities to drive revenue and elevate the guest experience across Omni’s 13 golf resort destinations and 28 courses, including both traditional and short-course layouts.
Castro joins Omni at an exciting juncture as the Company has invested more than $250 million in its golf operations since 2016. Omni’s championship legacy already includes the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and the 2023 Senior PGA Championship, both played at the Fields Ranch East course at Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa. The Omni Homestead Resort & Spa hosted the 2025 U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur Championship last September on its famed Cascades Course.
The Fazio Canyons course at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa is set to host the 2026 PGA Tour Austin Championship in November and in 2027, the Gil Hanse-designed North Course at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa will host the NCAA Division I Women’s and Men’s Golf Championships for the fourth consecutive year. Topping the list of upcoming major golf events, Fields Ranch East at Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa will host the 2027 PGA Championship.
Castro most recently served as a managing director at CapTech, where he advised leading sports and hospitality organizations on technology and business strategy. His work included CapTech's partnerships with the PGA of America and TMRW Sports, where he was part of the team that helped develop and launch TGL. Prior to joining CapTech, he enjoyed a 14-year professional golf career, including nine seasons on the PGA Tour, with appearances in two Tour Championships and 13 major championships.
A Georgia Tech graduate in Industrial Engineering, Castro received the Byron Nelson Award and NCAA Top VIII Award for athletic and academic excellence. He is a PGA of America Member, worked as a television analyst on ESPN, and hosts the “Course Record Show” podcast. Castro lives in Atlanta with his wife and two daughters.
