ORLANDO – The 69th PGA Show is in the books and while one publication dubbed it “the incredible shrinking show,” more than 600 exhibitors – down from 1,000 – showcased thousands of products and services to attending PGA professionals and golf buyers resulting in new business and new customers. The PGA Show reunited the global golf industry in person for the first time in two years, Jan. 25-28.
“With what is going on in the golf world, as well as the world itself, for all of us to be back together in Orlando, driving the business of golf forward, is significant,” said PGA President Jim Richerson.
The 2022 PGA Show began with Demo & Fitting Day at Orange County National Golf Center (OCN) on Jan. 25 and continued at Orange County Convention Center (OCCC), Jan. 26-28. Still, there is some concern that the attendance and participation dips may be more than a one-year COVID-19 blip.
