The PGA Golf Professional of the Year (POY) Conference platform began in 2010 in cooperation with the PGA of America. Each year, the PGA awards one national award winner and up to 41 Section winners, the highest honor bestowed upon PGA Professionals. To recognize their achievements and allow them to build long term relationships with their peers, PGA Magazine hosts an annual event bringing these professionals together for an opportunity to network with other winners at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort.

The PGA Golf Professional of the Year Conference platform has included attendance from every PGA Section over the last 15 years. A total of over 380 unique PGA Professionals and attending past winners are in this database and communication continues every year. Over the years, 99% of attendees would recommend their peers to attend, with hundreds of testimonials available on request.

Invitation is open to National and Section POY award winners only, averaging 2-4 National and 28-32 Section winners each year. Events, such as Golf, Relationship Building, while covering numerous relevant topics over a five-day agenda. Topics include staffing, training, mentoring, best practices, marketing, growing the game and other matters. There is no cost for the attendees. PGA Magazine brings up to eight partner companies, participating under long term agreements to each year’s event, with each company guaranteed exclusivity in its category.
