Yes, access to PGA Show Education sessions are available with either an All-Access Education Pass or a 1 Day Education Pass.

We highly recommend the All-Access Pass, which offers the best value and unlocks the full education experience.

Pricing, additional details, and the full education schedule will be available soon.

PDR stands for Professional Development Requirement credits. These are continuing education credits earned by PGA of America Golf Professionals to maintain their membership in good standing and stay up to date on best practices, leadership, teaching, and industry knowledge. 

PDR credits can be earned simply by attending the PGA Show, with additional credit opportunities available through participation in PGA Show Education sessions and other qualifying activities.

A complete breakdown of eligible opportunities will be provided as the event approaches.

Special Events at the PGA Show include Demo Day, the Fashion Show and the PGA Show Winter Jam. More details for each event will be available closer to the Show.

There is no formal dress code for the PGA Show. However, we recommend wearing comfortable, professional golf or business casual attire. With a full schedule of walking, networking, and interactive experiences across multiple venues, supportive footwear is a must to stay comfortable throughout the day. Layered clothing is also a good game plan, as temperatures can vary indoors and outdoors between Demo Day at Orange County National and the Convention Center.

The safety and well-being of our attendees, exhibitors, partners and staff is always our highest priority. We are committed to creating a secure and comfortable environment at the PGA Show.

To ensure this, we work closely with the venue, trusted security vendors, and local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, as well as public health officials and advisors. Together, we proactively assess potential risks and implement comprehensive safety and security plans tailored to each event.
