FRISCO, Texas – The PGA of America and PGA Golf Exhibitions announced that the Omni PGA Frisco Resort at PGA Frisco, and the new Home of the PGA of America, will be the host venues for the 2023 PGA Buying & Education Summit, July 31-Aug. 2.

The PGA Buying & Education Summit annually brings together influential PGA Professionals and golf buyers to preview the latest innovations and trends from a curated group of top golf brands, while offering one of the first opportunities to place orders for new 2024 spring apparel lines.
