About Renee

Renee Parsons is a dynamic leader in business, fashion, and philanthropy. Parsons is on the Board of Directors for PXG, co-founder of The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation, and leads hospitality and design at Scottsdale National Golf Club. 

Renee was raised in a small Michigan town by her parents, who were entrepreneurs in the restaurant business. From an early age, she learned the importance of hard work and serving others, values that continue to guide Renee today.  

At 13, she began working at The Pixie, a restaurant her grandfather opened in 1945. From there, Parsons set out to make her mark in the hospitality industry, earning her BA in Hospitality and Business from Central Michigan University. She spent years climbing the ladder in the hotel business, first in Chicago and finally in Scottsdale, where she met her husband, Bob Parsons. 

In 2009, Parsons combined her passion for hospitality with her desire to help others by joining the team at GoDaddy. Parsons launched GoDaddy Cares, a focused-giving program to benefit deserving organizations such as Make-A-Wish Arizona and Hope for Haiti. 

Following her time with GoDaddy, Parsons’ business acumen, service-oriented mindset and eye for detail have inspired her work in fashion, golf, hospitality, and philanthropy.  

Renee Parsons became the President and Executive Creative Director for PXG Apparel in 2018. She combined her love of fashion and golf to develop a sport fashion, high performance apparel brand, that has transcended its roots in golf and captured the interest of everyday golfers and tastemakers alike.  

In 2024, Parsons stepped into the role of PXG’s Chief Marketing Officer, expanding her influence to oversee the brand’s overall direction and strategy, followed by transitioning to the PXG Board of Directors in late 2025. 

Renee’s love of golf is also mirrored through her work building the facilities and personal service experience at Scottsdale National Golf Club (SNGC). SNGC was designed to be a retreat for its loyal members. And ranks high among the most exclusive clubs in the United States. 

In addition to her roles with PXG and Scottsdale National, Parsons continues to prioritize philanthropy and find creative and meaningful ways to give back through The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation (TBRPF). The private foundation aims to provide hope and life-changing assistance to vulnerable, underserved, and marginalized populations often overlooked by mainstream philanthropy. TBRPF’s areas of giving include military and veterans, youth, medical, education, homelessness, and the American Dream. TBRPF donates an average of one million dollars every 14-days. 

With a passion for supporting women and girls, Renee Parsons is an active supporter of the Girls Scouts-Arizona Cactus-Pine Council, Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Phoenix and Free Arts for Abused Children of Arizona. Parsons served as a Make-A-Wish Arizona board member for six years and is a former board member of the Hualalai Ohana Foundation, helping to provide education and medical care for the families it serves on the Big Island of Hawaii. 

Since 2013, the Parsons have been signatories of The Giving Pledge, which is a public promise to give away half of their net worth. Renee Parsons is also a First Tee board member and a member of Women Moving Millions, a global philanthropic community of people committed to large-scale investment in women and girls.
