ABOUT

THE STORY BEHIND THE PGA CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP

The PGA of America is made up of nearly 29,000 PGA Professionals who are ready to help you further your love for the game of golf. Whether you’re a beginner, a PGA TOUR or LPGA Pro, or like most—somewhere in between, our mission is to help you navigate your golf journey so that you can take it as far as you want to go.

At every golf course there is a club champion. To become the best player at his or her golf course, a Club Champion needs to work hard, practice and receive good guidance from a coach. Striving to be your best is one of the shared values at the PGA of America and The PGA Club Championship celebrates and represents achievements by the best amateur golfers and their PGA Coaches.

Whether you are a club champion who wants to re-live the moment you won the championship, an amateur player seeking guidance on how to win your first club championship, or a PGA Coach celebrating championship moments and lessons learned, The PGA Club Championship is a place for everyone to be their best. The PGA of America is here to help you make the most of your golf journey.

OUR TEAM

The PGA Club Championship was developed by the leadership at Nextgengolf, the leading entity supporting golfers in their 20s and 30s across the United States. Nextgengolf runs team-based golf tournaments for college students and young adults throughout the year. As of 4/1/2019, Nextgengolf was acquired by the PGA of America and now is a subsidiary of the PGA. Our team brings decades of combined golf operations experience and even a few club championships to make the PGA Club Championship an amazing organization.
