- “It’s great to see so many companies launching new products at the PGA Show this year. That’s the way it should be – introducing new products at the PGA Show so PGA Professionals can try them and take the information back to their club members. This is ideal.” —Andy Mickelson, PGA, Director of Golf, Mistwood Golf Club, Romeoville, Illinois
- “It’s always busy on opening day at the PGA Show, but the first two days of he Show seems busier than busy this year. I came down early this week for the PGA Teaching & Coaching Summit, and it was the largest ever we were told. That has carried over to the PGA Show floor, which reflects how golf has grown on all levels the past few years.”
—Joseph Dingledine, PGA, Head Professional, Country Club of Barre (Vermont)
- “This is my first PGA Show, and I spent Wednesday morning at several education sessions that were extremely informative. Walking the PGA Show floor is out of this world – so many great products and new ideas. There are a bunch of companies here who we never see in Kansas City, so it’s a great chance to order new products.” —Ben Johnson, PGA Head Golf Professional at Fred Arbanas Golf Course in Kansas City, Missouri
- “It seems like the PGA Show keeps growing by leaps and bounds, especially since the pandemic. It’s just like the good ol’ days, although it might be more crowded. This is really something.”—David Labinski, PGA, Head Professional, Dretzka Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The close proximity of all the vendors makes it easy here.” —Daren MacKinnon, PGA, Assistant Golf Professional and Director of Club Fitting, Pine Oaks Golf Course, South Eaton, Massachusetts
- “What excites me the most about coming here is taking time to walk through each aisle, looking for small booths that provide unique items I might only encounter here. Discovering these special finds is one of the most important aspects of the Show for me.” —Ian Ziska, PGA, Head Golf Professional, American Dunes Golf Club, Grand Haven, Michigan
- “This year, we are looking for men’s and women’s member-guest tournament gifts, as well as new hat applications and possibly a women’s clothing vendor. I’m impressed by what I’ve seen the first two days of the Show.” —John Fields, PGA, Director of Golf, Belmont (Massachusetts) Country Club
- “Each year I supplement my meetings on the Show floor with time to look for diamonds in the rough. The product assortment here is outstanding this year.” —Mike Adkins, PGA, Head Golf Professional, Green Spring Valley Hunt Club, Owings Mills, Maryland
