What PGA of Czech Republic does

PGA of Czech Republic (PROFESIONÁLNÍ GOLFOVÁ ASOCIACE HRÁČŮ A UČITELŮ GOLFU V ČR, z.s.) is the official professional golf association in the Czech Republic, founded in 1991 and headquartered at Golf Hostivař in Prague. The organization is a nonprofit registered association (zapsaný spolek) with 20 employees that serves Czech golf professionals, teaching professionals, apprentices, junior golfers, and senior players (50+). It operates five domestic tournament circuits (Czech PGA Tour, Senior Tour, Junior Tour, Apprentice Tour, and Pro-Am Teaching Tour), the Czech PGA Challenge, the Czech PGA Match Play Championship, and the flagship Tipsport Czech Ladies Open — a Ladies European Tour event with 350,000 EUR in prize money.

The association runs a three-year PGA C educational program for aspiring golf teaching professionals, issuing the only nationally recognized certification for golf instructors in the Czech Republic. Supporting technology is conventional: a WordPress-based website (pga.cz), an interactive member directory at map.pga.cz, an e-commerce shop at shop.pga.cz, and an LMS for the PGA C certification. Member services include a coach finder map, a benefits system, and continuing education seminars with international experts.

Revenue is generated through annual membership dues (golf professionals, teaching professionals, apprentices), tournament entry fees (1,200-1,500 Kč per player), ticket sales for major events (150-450 Kč), and crucially, title sponsorships and government grants from the National Sports Agency. Key commercial partners include Tipsport (flagship title sponsor), Raiffeisenbank, Albia, Lexus, Premier Sports, Oneplay Sport (broadcast), and equipment partners Titleist and FootJoy. The association achieved international recognition in 2025 when the Tipsport Czech Ladies Open received a Ladies European Tour special award for biggest year-over-year improvement.
