Hallett divides his time between La Quinta and Vanderbilt Legends Club in Tennessee where he is Director of Instruction. He has coached top LPGA players including former world #1 Stacy Lewis and Hall of Famer Juli Inkster. 

 

Riggs, who spent most of his career teaching in Los Angeles, most recently has been Director of Instruction at the Four Seasons Hualalai Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii.

He’s been a consistent presence on the Top 100 list and has been fortunate to work with some of the best players in the world on both the PGA and LPGA tours. One of Riggs’ many skills is building combine-style training sessions that help golfers get more out of their practice in less time.

“We received great feedback from the golfers who attended last year’s inaugural Top 100 Experience event and how the training really helped them level up their game” says Lebedevitch. “Joe, Brady and I are excited to expand on last year’s program with 18 players this year.”


PGA WEST® Golf Academy’s Josh Myers and John Battaglia will also be assisting players during the two-day event. Both top-notch instructors have been recognized by Golf Digest as among the Best Teachers in California 2024-2025.
