There were 30 PGA of America Section offices who hosted a PGA WORKS Fellow while 25 John & Tamara Lundgren PGA WORKS Scholarships were awarded. Our signature career connection event - Beyond The Green - brought together more than 370 young leaders to showcase the power of golf in their careers. Finally, the PGA WORKS Collegiate Championship hosted its 36th edition at the historic Shoal Creek Club.
