A chance to celebrate the exceptional work that PGA Professionals have achieved throughout the state, all nominees continue to do a wonderful job to grow the game of golf; making it more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Their contributions extending across every aspect of the industry, PGA Professionals will be recognised in four categories, with a further three awards available for outstanding Pro-Ams.

“It is fantastic to have the chance to honour the people and events that help golf to flourish every day,” said Victorian Membership Manager, Luke Bower.
