About Us
History of the Carolinas
The Carolinas Section of the PGA was formed in 1923 and officially recognized by the PGA in 1940. Today, the Carolinas PGA has grown to be the largest of the PGA’s forty-one sections with more than 2,400 professional members and associates employed at more than 700 golf facilities. Our geographic territory embraces North and South Carolina and a small portion of southern Virginia.
The Carolinas PGA is dedicated to nurturing and improving the quality of the game for the thousands of golfers using our member facilities. PGA professionals are responsible for conducting various golf-related functions, including golf shop merchandising, golf instruction, tournament operations, Junior golf programs, golf club repair, administering the Rules, public relations, and much more.

Today, we honor the courage and sacrifices of our nation’s veterans🇺🇸
Through @pgahope (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere), we’re proud to support military veterans and active-duty personnel in their journey of rehabilitation and wellness through the game of golf. This program uses golf as a therapeutic tool to enhance the physical, mental, social, and emotional well-being of those who’ve served our country.
To all veterans: thank you for your service. Were honored to serve you through the power of golf.

Expectations vs. Reality😅
We asked teams before the round: “How many birdies are you making today?”
Then we checked back after… some crushed it, some didn’t quite hit their goal.
But here’s what matters: EVERY birdie made = impact for our Veterans through PGA HOPE!🇺🇸
THANK YOU to everyone who pledged, played, and supported an incredible cause!
