Sandy Thomson is the CEO of World Golf Tour (WGT), the long-running online and mobile golf simulation that, on January 1, 2025, separated from Topgolf to operate as an independent company backed by a games-focused growth investor. A McGill computer science graduate who spent his early career programming at BioWare, Eidos Montreal and EA's Visceral Games, Thomson joined WGT/Topgolf as a lead software engineer in 2016 and rose through engineering leadership to become Studio Head of Topgolf Games before taking the top job at the spun-out WGT.
