- DEMO DAY TEES OFF – Swing into action today at the 23rd PGA Show Demo Day! A full day of product testing, education and activities is ready for you at Orange County National Golf Center. The gates open at 9 a.m. for PGA of America Golf Professionals and LPGA Professionals, along with their staff and guests, to check out the latest products from more than 70 leading golf brands at the 150-plus hitting bays, as well as the Demo Day Test Track and Discovery Zone Vendor Village. This year’s event also includes The Turn Lounge, a range-side gathering space with food, beverage and music for a fun, social experience. There is very limited parking on site, so we recommend taking the convenient free shuttles to and from the Orange County Convention Center.
- DRIVE FOR SHOW LIVE DEBUTS – An exciting new part of PGA Show Demo Day is Drive for Show LIVE, a dynamic set of interviews, competitions and interactions featuring golf influencers and content creators. Events include Hit Me With It powered by Club Car, where Hally Ledbetter will conduct interviews while driving a Club Car range picker; a Celebrity Skills Challenge; Hot Seat with America’s Caddie, Michael Collins, talking with industry experts; and much more. Drive for Show LIVE activities will continue on Day 1 of the PGA Show on Wednesday, as well.
- SPECIAL APPEARANCES & DEMONSTRATIONS – There are sure to be a host of celebrity guests and high-profile demonstrations at PGA Show Demo Day again this year. For example, Cobra Puma Golf will host some brand ambassadors Lexi Thompson, Blair O’Neal, Mel Reid and Shast Averyhardt for interviews, range challenges and meet & greet sessions between noon and 3 p.m., while PGA Championship winner Hal Sutton is expected to make an appearance on behalf of Makefield Putters. You never know who you might see at PGA Show Demo Day!
- EDUCATION AT PGA SHOW DEMO DAY – PGA Show Demo Day offers more than just a chance to try the game’s newest products thanks to the wide variety of educational opportunities throughout the day. PGA of America Coaching Workshops are available on OCN’s Tee #3 starting at 9:30 a.m., including a session with 2024 PGA of America Teacher & Coach of the Year Joe Hallett at 1:15 p.m. Another pair of exciting resources for education at PGA Show Demo Day are the Health & Wellness Center presented by the Golf Fitness Association of America (GFAA) and the Golf Range Best Practices area presented by the Golf Range Association of America (GRAA).
