FINalternatives- Hedge fund manager Trip Kuehne is retiring—from his second job as an amateur golfer.
After qualifying for this years’ Masters golf tournament, Kuehne, of the appropriately named Irving, Texas-based Double Eagle Capital Management, said he hoped to make the cut for “the working man” at the Augusta National Golf Club.
He may not be the quintessential “working man,” and he’s certainly no stranger to the upper echelons of the golf world. Kuehne runs his own hedge fund firm, has a pair of golf professionals as siblings (one of whom is dating tennis champion Venus Williams) and roomed with Phil Mickelson in college. Fourteen years ago, he went toe-to-tie with Tiger Woods and enjoyed the support of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo during his surprisingly strong showing at this tournament.
