Important Show for Manufacturers
From the perspective of a manufacturing company, the PGA Show allows company representatives to connect with thousands of PGA of America Golf Professionals, general managers, VIP buyers and industry professionals over four days in a single setting. The opportunity to visit with buyers and help them prepare for the 2025 season is invaluable.
“The scope and scale of the PGA Show not only allows us to show our new products and innovations to PGA Golf Professionals and decision-makers under one roof, but it allows us to exchange information and learn what our business partners want and need in their golf shops,” says Dan Ladd, President of Cobra-Puma Golf North America. “The interaction between our staff and our clients/customers is an important component of the PGA Show. If they succeed, we succeed and vice versa.”
