Professional Recognition Program
The PGA of Ontario Professional Recognition Program (PRP) was created to strengthen member engagement and foster a deeper connection between the members and the Associations’ offerings. This program emphasizes the importance of active and diverse participation in a variety of PGA of Ontario activities, driving involvement that directly benefits our members and the organization as a whole. By recognizing and rewarding individuals who contribute meaningfully, the PRP encourages members to take an active role in the growth and success of the Association while strengthening their impact in their perspective roles, facilities, networks, and communities. PRP points are awarded for professional development & education, industry contributions, community involvement, volunteerism, and tournament play. At its core, the PRP highlights our commitment to celebrating members who prioritize engagement within the PGA of Ontario and exemplify dedication to the well-being of their peers and the golf community.
Through this initiative, the PGA of Ontario will acknowledge the Association's Top 100 Golf Professionals each year, awarding the designation to those finishing among the first 100 positions on the PRP Leaderboard.
Each Top 100 Professional will receive a customized email signature as well as an elevated gift to recognize their accomplishments and contributions in any given year. In addition to recognizing the Top 100 Professionals, our partners at G&G Brands will contribute an added incentive to the Top 25 point-earners of the program.
Points are earned for participation in the following five categories:
- PGA of Ontario Programs
- PGA Partner or External Programs
- Member Recognition Programs
- Zone Tournaments
- Service & Volunteerism
To reward versatility, and in-person engagement, please note that:
- To be recognized in the Top 100, you must earn points in at least two of the five categories
- To be recognized in the Top 25, you must earn points in at least three of the five categories
- There are a maximum number of points that can be earned in each of the respective categories - please visit the Professional Recognition Program Overview & Points Allocation page to see these maximum amounts
Our Professional Recognition Program runs annually from October 15 – October 14
Members can begin accumulating points towards the next year’s leaderboard as soon as the current leaderboard closes on October 14! Therefore, members can earn and collect PRP points all year around!
