2025 PGA SHOW: LARGEST SINCE 2009 WITH OVER 33,000 IN ATTENDANCE

The 72nd Anniversary of the 2025 PGA Merchandise Show was held January 22-24 in Orlando, FL, inside the Orange County Convention Center. Day One seemed to be the busiest day, more than likely outpacing any other day in the last 15 years, as I’ve never witnessed such a crowded convention center from front to back. Every aisle was teeming with attendees anxious to view all of what was on display. The number of exhibitors was amazing as there was no empty floor space, just rows upon rows of exhibitors. Many were the usual exhibitors that have been displaying at the PGA Show for the last decade or more and there were also more first-time exhibitors than in years past – and that’s saying something when the previous year was quite the boom in that regard. This year was anchored by not only Golf Car/LSV manufacturers but lithium battery manufacturers, as well. 

The air buzzed with excitement as attendees eagerly moved from booth to booth, the hum of conversations and the occasional cheer creating a lively atmosphere. Several standout exhibitors were new Golf Car manufacturers showcasing their latest models, which featured cutting-edge technology and sleek designs. The demonstration of their capabilities drew large crowds, all eager to see the future of the Golf Car/LSV industry. I had the chance to speak with quite a few first-time exhibitors who were thrilled to be part of the show. They shared their journey of developing a revolutionary lithium battery that promises to change the game for electric golf cars. Compared to last year’s show, the number of first-time exhibitors has significantly increased, reflecting the growing interest and innovation in the Golf Car/LSV industry. The convention center was more packed than ever, a testament to the event’s expanding influence.

More than 33,000 golf industry professionals from 94 countries and 50 U.S. states came together to meet with more than 1,100 participating brands at the 72nd PGA Show in Orlando, Florida, Jan. 21-24, 2025. With the continued growth of the recreational game, the PGA Show reached its largest size since 2009, pointing to a highly optimistic outlook for the $102 billion golf industry in 2025.

While the PGA Show began in the trunks of cars during a 1954 golf tournament, it has grown into golf’s longest running and largest global business gathering. Held for the 39th year in 1.1 million square feet the Orange County Convention Center, the 2025 PGA Show expanded in multiple categories – by number of attendees, number of exhibitors, net booth space, and total event space, making it the largest PGA Show in 15 years. The PGA Show is organized by the PGA of America and PGA Golf Exhibitions.

“Every year the PGA Show leaves us energized and inspired, setting a positive tone for the new golf season,” said PGA of America President Don Rea Jr., PGA Master Professional and Owner/Operator of Augusta Ranch Golf Club (Arizona). “With more than 33,000 in attendance, including over 6,000 PGA of America Golf Professionals, this is our ‘Member’s Major.’ The Show offered a wealth of business opportunities, but equally important were the mentoring, networking and career development moments. I love seeing our younger professionals at their first PGA Show walking side-by-side with their seasoned mentors. The true essence of this week is the relationships and collaboration within our industry to advance the game of golf and leave it better than we found it.”

Among the tens of thousands of attendees were more than 7,300 PGA of America Golf Professionals, LPGA, and international PGA Professionals, representing widespread professional positions in the global industry and driving grassroots participation in the game by millions worldwide. More than 1,300 VIP buyers representing 840 golf facilities and retailers sourced new products and services, bringing approximately $885 million in purchasing power and nearly $2.2 billion in retail sales to the event. Additionally, more than 1,100 media, including some 200 content creators and social media influencers from 22 countries reported from the trade-only PGA Show, offering an exclusive inside look at the game’s newest innovations for millions of consumers around the world. Industry professional attendance came from 94 countries and all 50 U.S. states with Canada, the United Kingdom, China, Japan, and Mexico topping the list of international attendees and Texas, New York, Georgia, California, and North Carolina representing top states, outside of the host state of Florida.

“We had a feeling heading into the PGA Show that this year’s event was going to be special, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the overwhelmingly positive response from attending golf industry professionals and exhibiting brands – many who called it the ‘best show ever’,” said PGA Golf Exhibitions Vice President Marc Simon. “The largest PGA Show in 15 years, combined with really strong industry attendance, is a tremendous start to the new year for the golf industry. Our global golf community relishes the opportunity to connect in person and we leave the PGA Show with renewed friendships, new business opportunities, and a recharged outlook moving into 2025.”
