Presentations on innovation, technology, trends and player development headline three-day programming schedule.

FRISCO, Texas (Jan. 12, 2023) – The PGA Industry Stage Powered by CapTech at the 70th PGA Show will offer a full schedule of diverse programming from the PGA of America in collaboration with golf organizations, business leaders, top coaches, players and architects at golf’s longest running and largest global business gathering, Jan. 24-27, in Orlando, Florida.

Organized by the PGA of America and PGA Golf Exhibitions, the PGA Show will bring together thousands of PGA Professionals, golf leaders, industry executives and retailers from around the world who will source new products from nearly 800 golf and golf lifestyle brands, attend high-level industry presentations, participate in education and career workshops, and connect in person with peers and golf leaders to drive continued growth of the sport and the business of golf. The PGA Show begins on Jan. 24 with the PGA Show Demo & Fitting Day at Orange County National Golf Center and moves to the Orange County Convention Center, Jan. 25-27, for exhibits and a full schedule of industry events. PGA Show details and industry professional registration are available at PGAShow.com.

The PGA Industry Stage, formerly the PGA Forum Stage, was introduced in 2007 by the PGA of America to provide the game’s leaders with an unprecedented opportunity to reach thousands of attending international industry professionals on key matters that impact the business of golf. 

“The PGA Industry Stage is always an exciting aspect of the PGA Show, as it highlights the new innovations, technology, trends and player development initiatives that will benefit the golf business and encourage more people to play the game,” said PGA President John Lindert. “We are especially pleased to welcome expert speakers from across the golf community who will share best practices, knowledge and experience to grow the game at every level.”

The PGA Industry Stage Powered by CapTech is located in the PGA Professional Hub at the center of the PGA Show Floor. In addition to the stage presentations, the PGA Professional Hub will feature multiple Association program and partner resources and a comprehensive preview of PGA Frisco, the new Home of the PGA of America.
