Orlando, Florida, United States: Teeing-off today, the 72nd PGA Show has expanded to its largest size since 2009.

From January 21-24, the gathering will host more golf companies and brands on a larger Show Floor and bring together thousands of PGA of America Golf Professionals, industry executives, retailers and golf leaders from around the world.

Buoyed by strong recreational golf participation, the 2025 PGA Show features more than 1,000 golf companies within 1.1 million square feet of exhibit, demonstration and meeting space at the Orange County Convention Centre.

Marking the annual start of the new business year for the US$102 billion golf industry, the PGA Show is an unparalleled platform to discover the newest innovations, test the latest equipment and technology, learn from industry experts and network with peers to advance the business of the sport.

The PGA Show, organised by the PGA of America and PGA Golf Exhibitions, began in the trunks of cars at a winter golf tournament in 1954 and has grown into golf’s longest running and largest global business gathering.

Current industry professional registration exceeds 30,000 golf industry professionals from more than 80 countries and all 50 US States. More than 7,000 PGA of America, LPGA and International Golf Professionals are registered to attend, representing widespread professional positions in the industry that drive on and off-course participation by some 47.2 million Americans in the sport which contributes US$226.5 billion in total economic impact in America.

Additionally, more than 1,200 VIP buyers representing some 770 golf facilities and mass merchandisers are making plans to source new products and services, representing approximately US$810 million in purchasing power and nearly US$2 billion in retail sales.

“As we come together for the largest PGA Show in over 15 years, this global event stands as a grand gathering of PGA of America Golf Professionals and industry leaders, signalling the exciting start of the new golf season,” said Don Rea Jr, President of the PGA of America, an Executive Member of the Asian Golf Industry Federation.

“It’s an opportunity for us to unite, embrace the latest innovations and reignite our collective passion for the game. For me, the PGA Show is like a family reunion. Our Association unites the professional golf community at the PGA Show to drive the continued growth of recreational golf, which has never been healthier than it is today,” added Rea, PGA Master Professional and Owner/Operator of Augusta Ranch Golf Club (Arizona).

PGA Golf Exhibitions Vice President Marc Simon said: “As we gear up for this year’s PGA Show, the enthusiasm and energy level from exhibitors and buyers alike is unmatched, and we are excited to be kicking off the new season in such a positive way.

“The PGA Show plays such an integral part in the lives of people in the golf industry and the larger scale of the event overall points to an exciting outlook for the continued growth of the sport and the business of golf.

“A packed line-up of exhibits, product testing, demonstrations, special events, experiences, education and networking opportunities await our PGA Show community, and we can’t wait to officially open the 2025 PGA Show.”

While the PGA Show is an unmatched marketplace for discovering the latest golf innovations, PGA Show Week also offers industry professionals programming to recharge and renew their passion for the business of the game by attending high-level industry presentations, participating in education and career workshops and connecting in person with peers from around the world.

The PGA Show begins today with PGA Show Demo Day at Orange County National Golf Centre and moves to the Orange County Convention Centre from January 22-24 for exhibits and a full schedule of industry events.
