This invite-only tournament field will be made up of the top amateur golfers from around the country who have won their club championship during the 2024 calendar year.

The PGA National Club Championship is an amazing opportunity for amateur golfers to experience a professional golf like event. The PGA professionals who have conducted the events have done an exceptional job of providing participants with a first-class competitive golf experience. I have been fortunate enough to experience all four of the club championships held and the events keep getting better and better. The venues have been amazing and the competition outstanding! I have thoroughly enjoyed competing against champions from around the country and I have established friendships that will last a lifetime. Thank you PGA!

The National Club Championship is an outstanding event! I have been lucky enough to attend both the inaugural 2020 event at Pinehurst as well as the 2021 event in Palm Springs. The experience gets better each year and the PGA staff truly think of every single detail. The venues they choose are spectacular. You can expect beautiful challenging courses, a great welcome party, and quality favors to remember the experience. This annual event has made me even more motivated to win the club championship each year as I would be very disappointed to miss out on the invitation to attend!

I decided to play in the the 2021 PGA National Club Championship in Palm Springs, and now I am hooked. The golf courses are magnificent, challenging and fun to compete on. But what makes this tournament different from others, is the staff and their passion and intent to celebrate ALL Club Champions beyond their personal Golf Club. Everyone is friendly, accommodating and makes me feel welcomed and part of the PGA family, even after the competition is over. If you can take the week off to travel and participate, it’s a “must” for all club champions to experience.

Participating in the PGA National Club Championship tournaments in Palm Desert and in Arizona were both an absolute blast! PGA of America has given me the opportunity to compete at a national level which I never imagined myself ever doing in my recreational golf life. The staff members are incredibly organized, friendly and accommodating making the tournament experience seamless. The women I have met along the way made the events so much more memorable and some have turned into life long friendships. So grateful to have been invited to these amazing events.
