2025 PGA Show sets record for largest show in 15 years

The 2025 PGA Show took place in Orlando, Fla., Jan. 21-25 at the Orange County Convention Center. The show came on the heels of an arctic cold blast that brought snow to the panhandle of Florida. Even with the cold rain, there was record attendance and exhibitors, making it the largest PGA Show in 15 years.

Organized by the PGA of America and PGA Golf Exhibitions, the show welcomed more than 33,000 golf industry professionals from 94 countries and 50 U.S. states to meet with more than 1,100 brands. And with the continued growth of the game, organizers said there is an optimistic outlook for the $102 billion golf industry.

“Every year the PGA Show leaves us energized and inspired, setting a positive tone for the new golf season,” said Don Rea Jr., president of PGA of America, PGA master professional and owner/operator of Augusta Ranch Golf Club in Arizona.

Kicking off the show on Jan. 21 was Demo Day at a circular range and 42-acre practice facility at Orange County National Golf Center. The day-long event allowed PGA of America golf professionals to test the latest equipment and technology from more than 70 top golf companies. Demo Day included product education, coaching workshops, golf fitness presentations, a club fitting genius bar, programming on golf range strategies, demonstrations by PGA and LPGA Tour professionals and opportunities to meet with industry leaders.

The marketplace on the show floor had two days of heavy traffic with a diverse crowd visiting booths and lining up to demo simulators.

Toptracer launched its largest activation at the show, presenting its entire suite of products. It was the show’s largest booth, allowing attendees to experience Toptracer Range. There was also a new application of Toptracer Range for an indoor solution designed for smaller spaces.

“Our customers tell us that they want technology across their entire property to engage with every segment of their customer base,” said Oskar Asgard, senior product manager at Toptracer. “We believe we have the capabilities to transform each aspect of any facility, whether it be indoor or outdoor ranges, clubhouses or teaching academies.”
