PGA Golf Exhibitions and the PGA of America are implementing health and safety standards based on current CDC guidelines, local public health guidance and JW Marriott Las Vegas protocols to help support a safe and comfortable experience.

“The new format of the PGA Show Buying & Education Summit has been designed from the onset to help the golf industry return to in-person apparel and accessory sourcing while prioritising the health and well-being of event guests,” said Marc Simon, PGA Golf Exhibitions Vice President.

“We look forward to hosting this premium, smaller-scale gathering of industry stakeholders who can connect for high-value business, education and networking,” he added.

Top apparel, accessory and golf lifestyle companies will meet with invited buyers and PGA Professionals in scheduled meetings of the private One2One event and during open exhibitor line showings.

Event attendees will be able to participate in multiple networking events, including nightly receptions and an event-closing industry golf scramble outing at TPC Las Vegas.

On August 10, the PGA of America will host a PGA Town Hall with PGA President Jim Richerson and PGA Secretary Don Rea, open to all PGA Professionals and the Southwest PGA Section also will host multiple section programmes during the Summit.
