In 2016, the PGA of America celebrated its Centennial anniversary, 100 years of service to the game of golf and its members. To honor the contributions of the many great golf professionals that have worked tirelessly to grow and promote the game of golf, as well as mentor future professionals, the PGA of America initiated the #THXPGAPRO campaign.

The PGA Golf Management Program is proud to join in this campaign, as several of our students wished to express their "THX" to PGA Professionals that have impacted them in some way through the game of golf.

Jon WIlson, PGA and Joe Murphy (Sr.)
