The 2024 Playing Ability Test schedule has been finalized, with four unique opportunities for prospective professionals set for the upcoming season. With a diverse lineup of Playing Ability Tests, golfers from around the province will have multiple occasions to join the ranks of the Association.

The PGA of Canada also recognizes an array of events which can earn prospective professionals a Playing Ability Test exemption. To learn more, please click here.

In recognition of demonstrated playing ability, an applicant will be awarded an exemption from the Playing Ability Test requirement based on the following criteria:

Score meets the PAT standard of nine over the course rating for men 49 years of age or under, 11 over the course rating for men 50 years of age or older, 13 over the course rating for women 49 years of age or under, and 15 over the course rating for women 50 years of age and older.

For Golfers with Different Abilities, Playing Ability Test scoring details are available here.

Please note: if you are granted a PAT Exemption, your registration fee will be adjusted to $350 plus tax.

Please note that PATs are open only to individuals who are verified applicants to the PGA of Canada. Clicking on the registration link will redirect you to the PGA of Canada website, where log-in is required to complete your registration.

Individuals interested in participating in one of the PATs above who have not yet completed an application to the PGA of Canada must first do so by visiting this page and completing the online application form.
