Our Philosophy
The PGA of America is committed to a work environment that is inclusive and fosters a team of proud, passionate and caring individuals that together share their talents and diverse backgrounds to serve our PGA of America Members and grow the game of golf. The organization welcomes and supports the broad dimensions of difference, celebrating people as individuals, and inviting them to come as they are to help create an authentic, innovative workforce that mirrors America.
Fostering Inclusion & Diversity
Growing the game is essential to the mission of the PGA of America. An important part of this effort is making sure that people of all backgrounds have access to and feel authentically welcome in the game and business of golf.
We recognize that we will be defined by how our commitment to Inclusion and Diversity resonates throughout our organization, as well as our programs and practices. Our goal is to make golf—both the game and the business—as diverse as the United States. We recognize that there are many dimensions to diversity—age, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, ability, religion, Veteran status, and so much more.
In order to attract the increasingly diverse consumer population to the game, we are committed to furthering inclusion in our industry. We are working to ensure that diverse groups are well-represented among our membership, staff, and suppliers. To achieve this, we take a four-pronged approach to integrating diversity considerations throughout our Association: education and training, workforce diversification, supplier inclusion, and community engagement.
