The PGA is delighted to offer all golf industry professionals a complimentary subscription to Golf Business Quarterly (GBQ), the dedicated magazine for all those who work and volunteer in golf.

We believe that by offering complimentary access to GBQ and its insightful content, we can foster greater collaboration, increase knowledge-sharing and help to place The PGA in an influential position at the heart of the golf industry.
