Professional Development Program

PGA of BC members continue to prove themselves as industry leaders at the local, provincial, and national levels in a variety of ways, reflected in the PGA of BC Professional Development Program presented by Sunice & Bobby Jones. First introduced in 2013, the PGA of BC ‘PDP’ is an annual Points Race designed to recognize members of the Association who show a tremendous commitment to becoming a top professional in the golf industry by way of education, networking, and industry volunteerism.  Each year, the standings are used to determine the Career and Professional Development Top 100, recognized annually at the Annual General Meeting and Education Seminar.

The top ten point-earners by December 31, 2025 will be rewarded cash bursaries from a purse of $4,000. The top 10 Assistants’, not otherwise recognized in the top 10 of the general standings, will also be rewarded cash bursaries from a purse of $2,500. Those eligible for the Assistants’ standings are professionals not otherwise eligible for the PGA of BC’s Club Professional Championship. Additionally, this season includes the ‘Rookie of the Year’ race, with the top point earner recognized at the Annual General Meeting and a cash bursary of $250. A ‘rookie’ is defined as any professional who has joined the PGA of Canada from January 1 of the previous year through the present day.

For any questions or concerns, members are encouraged to contact Doug Titterington at doug@pgabc.org.
