Fellow PGA Professionals, 

I wanted to take this opportunity to wish all of you and your families a Happy Holiday Season. 

Golf is a big industry and PGA Professionals continue to be at the forefront of it especially during what can only be described as an unbelievably challenging year. I can’t thank you all enough for all your hard work, dedication and commitment leading our great sport and industry through the challenges of 2020. 

As discussed during our recent Annual Meeting, the National Officers, Board and Staff are fully committed to providing resources and support to help elevate and advance PGA members throughout the country.

Whether it’s the Back2Golf operational playbook, which is helping us keep golf open moving forward, the SupportLinc Member Assistance Program which offers free and confidential support on a variety of day-to-day issues or our Disaster & Golf Emergency Relief Funds, we will work with the 41 Executive Directors and Sections throughout the year to deliver tools and resources that are valuable to you and your families. 

Finally, I’d like to close by saying however you’re celebrating the holidays, my family and I want to wish you and yours a season of joy and blessings and a Happy New Year.

Together let’s continue rising to the challenge in helping support our friends and neighbors, while using the game of golf to bring joy, camaraderie and relaxation to millions of players around the world.

Jim Richerson, PGA
President of PGA
