Janaury 2023 Ohio Golf Journal

5. PGA Show 2022 Last January 2022 edition of the PGA Show, “The Major of the Golf Business,” was a shadow of pre-pandemic years as organizers attempted to recover relevancy after the virtualonly show in 2021. Major companies did not exhibit, and the number of attendees fell by 60%. For 2023 there is hope for a recovery as the largest golf companies such as Callaway, Acushnet, Cobra and Ping have signed up. 4. World Golf Hall of Fame moves to Pinehurst It sounded like a great idea, when the World Golf Hall of Fame was first built in St. Augustine along I-95, the route millions drive each year seeking fun in the winter sun. Attendance never came close to the projections, however. The PGA Tour, the driving force behind the Hall, felt that moving it to Pinehurst and making it a part of the new USGA testing facility will help to ensure a viable future.
