All PGA Professional Championships to take place in South Florida

FRISCO, Texas (July  24, 2024) – The PGA of America announced today that PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida, will host the PGA Professional Championship, Senior PGA Professional Championship and Assistant PGA Professional Championship in 2025.

The PGA Professional Championship presented by Club Car, Corebridge Financial and Rolex will be contested Apr. 27-30 on PGA Golf Club’s Wanamaker and Ryder Courses. The Senior PGA Professional Championship is slated for October also on the Wanamaker and Ryder Courses while the Assistant PGA Professional Championship will take place in November on the Wanamaker Course.

“The PGA of America is proud to take three of our highly-anticipated Member Championships to PGA Golf Club in 2025,” said PGA of America President John Lindert, PGA Director of Golf at The Country Club of Lansing. “PGA Golf Club has proven to be a special venue for our marquee Member Championships as the Wanamaker and Ryder courses provide a captivating challenge for our talented PGA of America Golf Professionals.”  

The PGA Professional Championship has served as the National Championship for PGA of America Golf Professionals since 1968. The 312-player field consists of past Champions, the top-20 players and ties from the previous year’s Championship as well as players qualifying through PGA Section Championships. The low 20 scorers will earn a spot in the 2025 PGA Championship being played at Quail Hollow Club, Charlotte, NC as members of the Corebridge Financial Team.

This is the second time the PGA Professional Championship will be contested at PGA Golf Club; it was previously held there in 2021.

The Senior PGA Professional Championship will return to PGA Golf Club for the 16th time in 2025, having last hosted in 2023. This event features a 264-player field of PGA of America Golf Professionals ages 50 and older. The top 35 finishers receive exemptions into the 2025 Senior PGA Championship being played at Congressional Country Club’s Blue Course as members of the Corebridge Financial Team.

The Assistant PGA Professional Championship boasts a 132-player field of Assistant PGA of America Golf Professionals who earn berths through their local PGA Sections.

“We are honored to host the 2025 PGA Professional Championship at PGA Golf Club,” said PGA Golf Club General Manager, Jeremy Wiernasz, PGA. "The Wanamaker and Ryder Courses possess all the essential elements to create a memorable national championship and to challenge an exceptionally talented field of PGA of America Golf Professionals. Additionally, PGA Golf Club will also host the 2025 Senior PGA Professional Championship and the 2025 Assistant PGA Professional Championship. This announcement reflects the PGA of America's long-term commitment to our property and the Port St. Lucie community. Owned and operated by the PGA of America, PGA Golf Club has hosted every PGA of America Member Championship, as well as the PGA's Tournament Series and Winter Championships.”  

The Wanamaker and Ryder Courses were designed by Tom Fazio. The Wanamaker, the first golf course named in honor of Rodman Wanamaker, is a classic Florida layout featuring a backdrop of wetlands, palm trees and palmettos. The Ryder, named in honor of Samuel Ryder, boasts a distinctive Carolina-feel with rolling hills, majestic pine trees and challenging water hazards. Both the Ryder and Wanamaker courses are ranked among Golf Digest’s Top Public Golf Courses in Florida.
