By establishing and elevating the standards of the Golf Profession through world-class education, employment services, marketing, and research programs, The PGA enables its Professionals to maximize their performance in their respective career paths and showcases them as experts in the game and in the multi-billion-dollar golf industry.

The MAPGA consists of over 1,100 Members and Associates in Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia and small portions of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Holding true to the PGA motto “Experts in the Business and Game of Golf” the Middle Atlantic PGA provides more than 80 highly competitive tournaments for our membership.

PGA Members are required to earn 54 total MSR credits for a three-year cycle; at least 36 of those must come from Meeting/Education/Player Development. These credits are commonly referred to as the “required category”. These consist of but are not limited to Section and Chapter meetings and education seminars, as well as various PGA of America, approved Player Development Programs.

At the MAPGA, we are always looking to implement strategies, initiatives and programs to expand the reach of golf among current and potential players.  With the help from Mike Aldrich our Regional Player Development Manager, the MAPGA focuses on growing participation through both youth and adult initiatives.

The Middle Atlantic PGA is proudly supported by more than 70 Sponsors which provide support for our Tournaments, Meetings & Education Seminars, Player Development initiatives and more. Without the help from our sponsors, much of what our organization accomplishes would not be possible. Would you like to become a sponsor?

Each year the MAPGA recognizes its most outstanding PGA Professionals and amateurs in the Middle Atlantic region for their exemplary contributions toward making The PGA and the MAPGA better Associations. In all categories, the recipients of these awards contribute a tremendous amount of time and energy to our Association.
