George S. May International history

1929: The company opens offices in New York and San Francisco.

In 1936, a fire destroyed the clubhouse of the Tarn O’Shanter Country Club in the Chicago suburb of Niles and bankrupted the owners.

Despite the difficult economic climate, May persevered, recovered lost business, and by 1937 increased annual revenues to more than $1 million.

To achieve this new strategy, the company had to expand at a significant rate, and by 1950 it employed 500 people.

Not to be upstaged, May immediately stepped onto the green to announce that the winning share of the 1954 tournament would be doubled to $50,000, plus the winner would also have the chance to play 50 exhibitions to promote his consulting company at $1,000 each.
