PGA School Programs

The Professional Golfers Association of America (PGA) is a group that regulates and monitors games for professional golfers. As a part of the organization's goal to train and develop new golfers, it has several education programs for youth and other golfers. Among the PGA programs are after-school programs for youth, PGA-managed schools and university programs created with a partnership with the PGA.

  1. After School Programs

    • The PGA has after-school programs to introduce youth to golf. The program teaches the basics of how to play the game, supplies equipment and teaches tips on improving the beginner's game technique. The after-school programs also teach youths who are more experienced with golf how to play the game better. The after school programs can take place at an educational facility or at a golf course or country club.

    Golf Schools

    • For adults who want to become professional golfers, the PGA has developed its own golf schools. The instructors for the schools are PGA-certified and teach the students privately or in a group setting. The schools are open to beginners looking to advance or professionals needing to sharpen their skills. Among some of the locations for the schools are California, Florida, Arizona and Spain.

    University Programs

    • The PGA has partnered with universities ito teach golf at the collegiate level. The schools have a golf management program where students can become involved in various careers in the sport of golf. The programs have classes on the college campus and have career training as well. Internships for the summer are available, and the students enrolled at the various programs are placed with different jobs after graduation.
