National Conference attended by 183 unique winners

Recognition as BEST OF THE BEST Assistant Golf Professionals

100% of attendees would recommend the PGA Assistant Golf Professional of the Year Conference to others who are eligible to attend


The PGA Assistant Golf Professional of the Year (APOY) platform began in 2017 with the inaugural national conference taking place in 2018. Each year, the PGA awards up to 41 Section winners — the best young professionals and industry leaders of tomorrow. To recognize their achievements, PGA Magazine hosts three regional events and an annual conference bringing the APOY winners together for an opportunity to network with other winners in this category.


PGA of America Professional Testimonials

““The Assistant Professional of the Year Conference is one of the most positive and unique experiences that I have been a part of during my time in the golf industry. A carefully crafted itinerary offers opportunities to network with peers from across the country, engage in relevant and problem-solving discussions, and receive advice from industry experts. Each invitation has been earned through tremendous effort. I encourage each APOY winner to accept their invitation and meet those who have put forth the same effort in their career.”
