Best-Kept Secret

Historically the PGA has a long association with golf tournaments from the Ryder Cup to the PGA Championship but PGA Corporate Golf is one of its fastest growing sectors.

PGA Sponsorship Manager Jim Croxton explains the benefits of PGA Corporate Golf and why more companies, both big and small, are utilising its expertise.

"What we have found is that while many businesses have heard of the PGA they are not necessarily aware that we can stage a highly-efficient and memorable sporting day for them that really impresses their clients.

"There's also a belief that we're going to cost a fortune but that isn't the case at all.

"This is a message we are keen to get out into the business community where we know that making the right impression really counts.

"We believe we have a distinct advantage as we have 7,500 golf professionals we can call on, while we have an unrivalled expertise given we organise a full schedule in excess of 700 events every year.

"Our name carries a lot of prestige and weight in the industry, which is a distinct advantage when you want to play the likes of Wentworth, Turnberry, the Belfry or any other championship course.

"We can pull out all the stops, which will allow us to create a genuine tournament atmosphere from the moment you reach the course to the time you leave.

"Not only do we give good value but we add value to your event.

"We believe that knowing that the PGA is organising your golf day really does give your event the edge."
