FootJoy & The PGA Launch #FJThankaPGAPro Competition

FootJoy and The PGA have launched a competition to celebrate and thank PGA Professionals who have ‘gone above and beyond’ serving their members and local communities over the past year.

The campaign builds on a long-standing partnership between the two organisations that champion performance and dedication in golf.

The competition invites golfers to share stories of how their PGA Professional has supported them using the hashtag, #FJThanksaPGAPro.

Two overall PGA Professional winners will be handpicked by a combined FJ and PGA panel and rewarded by PGA Principal Partner, Therabody, who will offer a Theragun PRO device as a prize for their efforts. Perfect for pre or post-golf, the Theragun PRO provides deep muscle treatment to enhance muscle recovery, release stress and tension, and soothe discomfort.

In addition to the main prizes, three other nominated PGA Pros will be randomly selected to win a pair of FJ MyJoys. The competition will also reward golfers who participate and share their support for PGA Professionals.

Robert Maxfield, Chief Executive of The PGA, commented: “FootJoy has been a long supporter of The PGA and our Members, but also a champion of the wider grassroots game. The #FJThanksaPGAPro campaign demonstrates this support, rallying the golf community together and reflecting on the efforts of our members during a turbulent, yet exciting time for the game. There are so many stories of PGA Professionals going above and beyond to support the community and support the game, and we look  forward to shining a deserving light on these over the next month.”

FootJoy Brand Director, Russell Lawes, added: “The last 18 months have presented some of the most unique circumstances we have ever faced as a golf community and the PGA Professional has been central in helping to navigate the challenges and deliver a thriving amateur game. We are delighted to use this opportunity to recognise PGA Professionals’ hard work, dedication and passion for the game with this campaign and we look forward to joining golfers across the UK&I in celebrating their efforts.”

To qualify, all entries must include the hashtag #FJThanksaPGAPro and tag both FJ and the PGA on social media using the handles, @FootJoyEurope and @ThePGA.

The winners of the competition will be announced on December 17.
