Education Programs

Many young golfers set their sights on playing on Tour, but the truth is a variety of other career opportunities exist within professional golf. Golf globally is a varied industry spanning real estate, resorts, manufacturing, coaching, teaching, retail, hospitality and course maintenance. The career diversity in golf is great and the PGA works hard to provide educational opportunities that support and develop individuals who have a passion for a career in golf.

The PGA owns and runs three education divisions: PGA Academy, PGA International Golf Institute and PGA Centre for Learning and Performance. Collectively, these divisions offer traineeships, tertiary education and performance coaching to PGA Members, tour Professionals and the public – both domestic and international. The PGA can assist anyone interested in a specialist career as a Teaching Professional, Director of Golf, Game Development Officer, High Performance Coach, Club Administrator, Golf Facility Manager or Tour Professional.
