PGA Show
With over 40,000 annually attending the PGA Merchandise Show, it is the largest golf show in the world, but it is not open to the general public. New products are rolled out to club professionals, golf industry executives and the media. The top golf manufacturers, resellers and club professionals can see, feel and touch the latest golf products that everyone will want for the upcoming season.
During the show, PGA Professionals and industry leaders form a dynamic international community to network and test the newest products, programs and ideas to inspire innovation, create solutions, and build business and passion for the game. By discovering all that is new, PGA Professionals and buyers drive more value to their facility, differentiate their shop from competitors and further their career.
A demo day, training sessions, and leading industry executives talk about the state of the industry and what golf professionals need to know to help their membership better enjoy the game and courses prosper.
With a few large companies choosing to drop out of this year’s PGA Merchandise Show it may be a bit smaller than normal, but just the fact that it is being held is a very good sign for the overall health of golf.
Golf has experienced a huge boom over the past two years. Even though inventories are tight and distribution channels are clogged, golfers should be able to find everything they need to make 2022 their best golf year ever.
