Hoggard hired as senior writer for Golfchannel.com

GolfChannel.com reported Monday that Rex Hoggard has joined their ranks as a senior writer, leaving Golfweek, where he held several positions for more than eight years, most notably as a columnist.

The move comes as a surprise, considering this clipping from the August 30 edition of Golfweek...

 

Hoggard's name has been removed from the Golfweek contact list and the new editor of digital media is Eric Soderstrom, who served previously as the Managing Editior of Golfweek.com. 

This is the second key player to leave Golfweek for GolfChannel.com in the last year.  Jay Coffin, the former Digital Media Editor at Golfweek, now serves as the editorial director of GolfChannel.com.

Hoggard didn't waste much time between the two jobs.  He covered the Nationwide Tour Championship for Golfweek last month, and has already contributed one item to GolfChannel.com.
