ORLANDO, Fla. – The sport of pickleball recently took center stage at the golf industry’s showcase event.
The PGA Show took place January 24-27 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla. Golf’s longest-running and largest global business gathering brings together thousands of PGA professionals, golf leaders, industry executives, and retailers from around the world as nearly 30,000 attendees and 800+ golf and lifestyle brands come together to drive continued growth of the sport and the business of golf.
As the sport of pickleball continues to surge in popularity, golf resorts, country clubs, and municipalities continue to integrate pickleball programming into their line-up of activities. To support the intersection of golf and pickleball, a regulation pickleball court was constructed on the PGA Show exhibit hall floor, and Selkirk Sport, a leading brand at the forefront of pickleball’s growth, hosted exhibition matches and clinics with celebrities and some of the top teachers in the sport. Officials stated the pickleball section was buzzing throughout the duration of the show.
