Tom Garfinkel steps down as Miami Dolphins president and CEO

Tom Garfinkel has stepped down as president and CEO of the Miami Dolphins after 13 years, the team announced Tuesday, though he will remain vice chairman and managing partner of the Miami Grand Prix. Garfinkel cited the right timing for his decision, praising the organization's business strength and thanking owner Steve Ross and South Florida fans. Ross simultaneously created Ross Sports & Entertainment, naming Daniel Sillman as its CEO to oversee the Dolphins, Hard Rock Stadium, the Miami Grand Prix, the Miami Open, and the Precision Drive Club. Sillman will now manage the Dolphins' football operations in his new role, marking a structural shift in the team's leadership hierarchy. Garfinkel's continued involvement with the Grand Prix signals his ongoing presence in Miami's sports landscape.
