Livescore
With over a million square feet of space for exhibitions, demonstrations and meetings, the PGA Merchandise Show is one of the industry’s biggest weeks, a time for golf professionals to meet in sunny Florida during the midst of winter. The show wrapped up this week at the Orange County Convention Center, and although the official numbers aren’t in yet, organizers believe the crowds were the biggest in over 15 years.
The 72nd edition of the show featured six stages on the floor and expanded into a new hall called The Retreat, which was designed to bring attendees together for business connections and exclusive experiences. It’s also where both the fashion show and Winter Jam (with 90s rockers Third Eye Blind) were held.
This, from the PGA Show website:
Since humble beginnings from the trunks of cars in 1954, the PGA Show has grown into the longest running and largest global business gathering of the $102 billion golf industry. Each January, the world of golf convenes in Orlando to discover innovative products, test the latest game technologies, learn business strategies, build career connections, and collaborate with peers and golf leaders to drive continued growth of the sport. The PGA Show is open exclusively to golf industry professionals.
