As PGA Members, we often spend hours outside, coaching, playing, and leading the way for the next generation of players. Yet, sun safety isn’t always front of mind.
Recognising this, PGA Learn is supporting the Melanoma Fund’s mission to promote greater awareness of sun protection in golf. The aim? To encourage a culture where sun safety becomes second nature, particularly among young players developing habits that will stay with them for life.
To support this initiative, all PGA Members are encouraged to complete the FREE Sunguarding: Sun and Heat Protection course, now available on PGA Learn.
Designed specifically for those working in sport, the short and practical course offers clear, actionable advice on how to stay protected on and off the course.

Why it matters:
As PGA Professionals, you are uniquely placed to influence how sun safety is perceived and practised in golf. By taking small, proactive steps, like completing this course, you can lead by example and help create lasting change in the sport we love.
The Sunguarding Course is one of the most straightforward and practical courses I’ve taken. It delivers clear, sensible advice that’s easy to apply, with key questions that make you think. For PGA Pros, this isn’t optional – it’s essential if you want to protect yourself and your clients from UV exposure, lead by example, and stay at the top of your game.
