Professional Recognition Program

The PGA of Ontario Professional Recognition Program (PRP) recognizes individual PGA Members who make a significant contribution to the Association and the overall well-being of fellow members. This point-driven program is based on being active within the industry through various forms of professional development, education, industry contributions, community involvement, volunteerism, and tournament play.

Through this initiative, the PGA of Ontario will acknowledge the Association's Top 100 Golf Professionals each year, awarding the designation to those finishing among the first 100 positions on the PRP Leaderboard.

Each Top 100 Professional will receive a customized email signature as well as a small gift to recognize their accomplishments and contributions this year. In addition to recognizing the Top 100 Professionals, our partners at G&G Brands will contribute an added incentive to the Top 25 point-earners of this year's program. 

To be recognized in the Top 100 you must earn points in at least two of the five categories, and to be recognized in the Top 25 you must earn points in at least three of the five categories.

Points are earned for participation in five different categories. Those categories are:

  • PGA of Ontario Programs
  • PGA Partner or External Programs
  • Member Recognition Programs
  • Zone Tournaments
  • Service & Volunteerism

In an effort to reward versatility, and in-person engagement, we have made the following adjustments to this year’s Professional Recognition Program:

  • To be recognized in the Top 100 you must earn points in at least two of the five categories
  • To be recognized in the Top 25 you must earn points in at least three different categories

Members can begin accumulating points for the 2024 Professional Recognition Program as soon as the previous program ends!  Meaning you can never stop earning points!
