ATLANTA, GA (February 12, 2016) – PGA TOUR Superstore today announced it will open its first interactive retail store in Minnesota, introducing a new experience for Twin Cities golfers in the Minnetonka area. The store, located at 12380 Wayzata Boulevard, is expected to open this spring.
PGA TOUR Superstore is known for its large-format interactive stores across the country. The 41,000 square foot experience includes 12 interactive simulators and hitting bays used for custom fitting, lessons from PGA teaching professionals and general practice for golfers of all levels.

PGA TOUR Superstore will employ up to 50 associates, including PGA teaching professionals, and will also have an in-house club-making and repair facility to provide a unique, interactive experience to golf enthusiasts of all levels.
“We are excited to bring the best experiential destination in golf retail to Twin Cities golfers during what is sure to be a banner golf season highlighted by the Ryder Cup at Hazeltine, right in our new backyard,” said PGA TOUR Superstore President and CEO Dick Sullivan. “This is an incredible market for golf, and we believe the area is underserved for golf retail. Our professional expertise and interactive environment inspire all types of golfers – from beginners to scratch golfers – to play the game and find everything they need under one roof.”
