Awards Program

 

The PGA of British Columbia Awards are presented each fall. These honours recognize the individuals and golf facilities that are leaders in our Association, and acknowledging and honouring them helps elevate the profile of every PGA of BC member in the eyes of the consumer.

More than a dozen award recipients are named each year, with 11 of those awards dependent on peer nomination. These nominations are then considered by four regional nominating committees, which determine Regional Award Recipients in each category that are also put forward as finalists for the provincial award.

A Final Selection Panel, consisting of past award winners representing each region of British Columbia, then considers the nominees from each region and selects the Provincial Award Recipients. If eligible, provincial recipients are also put forward as British Columbia's nominee for corresponding National Awards presented by the PGA of Canada. 

Each of the PGA of BC's awards and most recent recipients are listed below. Click on any award heading for award criteria and to view lists of past Provincial and Regional Award Recipients.
