1946 – 2026
The PGA is saddened to report the passing of former Regional Secretary, Ray Ellis, who died on 6 June at the age of 80.

We are proud to announce our involvement in 'Thank A PGA Pro Day', a new global initiative established by the PGA World Alliance - the international body representing the world's professional golf organisations - which will take place for the first time on 31 July 2026.

Thank A PGA Pro Day is a dedicated global day of recognition in celebration of PGA Professionals who make such a significant difference to the golf community and wider industry, with more than 60,000 PGA Professionals coaching, managing and working in golf clubs and facilities around the world.

The theme for this year’s inaugural campaign is 'Behind Every Golfer'. No matter what level a golfer plays at, there will almost certainly be a PGA Professional somewhere in their story - someone who taught them, encouraged them or simply made them feel welcome the first time they picked up a club.

A remarkable year of fundraising has led to national recognition for one PGA Member.

Christian Askins has been named The PGA’s 2025 Toby Sunderland Award winner, recognising an outstanding charitable contribution.

The Bridgend Golf Complex Advanced Professional raised more than £11,000 for Alzheimer’s Research UK through an exceptional series of physical efforts. From daily 10km runs to a full month of half marathons, his work also helped drive vital awareness of a cause close to many.

A powerful example of the impact PGA Members can make, both within and beyond the game.
