The PGA of Canada recognizes our responsibility to create, foster and preserve sport settings that ensure positive and healthy relationships between players, coaches, trainers, and everybody involved within the sport of golf.
Earlier this year, the PGA of Canada worked with the nine zones from across the country to put together an all-encompassing confidential membership survey that will help us shape the direction of the association moving forward. The PGA of Canada staff, board, and zones will be using this data in the development of future programs, services, and opportunities to best align with the needs of our members.

Veteran sports broadcaster (and PGA of Canada Honourary Director) Brian Williams today announced his retirement following a distinguished career that has spanned 50 years. TSN celebrates Williams’ career on Sunday, Dec. 12 in advance of the 108th GREY CUP broadcast.
From trying to bend “The King’s” putter in Westmount’s back shop to playing nine with big-haired rockers, one thing is sure: the stories Rob Strahan’s amassed during a half century in the golf industry are book-worthy. Reflecting on his storied career, Strahan, 61, gets emotional. At the end of the 2021 season, Westmount Golf & Country Club’s head professional retires—leaving behind the people and the place that have fuelled his passion for 41 years.
In partnership with ECCO, we are giving away 9 pairs of shoes (1 per Zone) to recognize members and apprentices for going above and beyond this year.
From Friday, November 26 until Sunday, November 28, many items in the PGAofCanada shop will be on sale!
