prime or Tier 1 vendors) for opportunities during any of the three Championships.
Golf is an $84 billion industry, and events like these generate substantial entertainment and
tourism dollars for host cities and surrounding areas. Accordingly, the PGA is committed to building a
supply chain representative of America’s population.
“We are excited to foster local entrepreneurship through PGA VendorMatch,” said PGA of
America Chief People Officer Sandy Cross. “PGA VendorMatch enhances our ability to provide an
outstanding experience through our Championship operations. We look forward to extending this
exciting initiative to vendors in support of our major Championships in 2022, while positively
impacting the local economies in Oklahoma, Michigan and Maryland.”
Companies interested in registering should visit PGAVendorInclusion.org. A variety of services
are needed, such as catering, temporary housing, florals and labor. A full listing of needs is featured on
the website.
All registrations must be received by Nov. 9, 2021 to be considered.
