The Gateway PGA Section is sending four PGA of America members to compete at the 2025 PGA Professional Championship from Sunday, April 27, through Wednesday, April 30. The 57th PGA Professional Championship will be played at PGA Golf Club’s Wanamaker and Ryder courses in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
The PGA Professional Championship, the national championship for PGA of America golf professionals from across the country, features a 312-player field representing all 41 PGA of America sections.
The champion and the top 20 finishers in the PGA Professional Championship will be named to the Corebridge Financial Team and will advance to the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club, May 12-18.
The Gateway PGA Section looks forward to cheering on the following professionals:
- Bob Gaus (Family Golf & Learning Center)
- Ryan McClintock (Panther Creek Country Club)
- Gideon Smith (Quincy Country Club)
- Jeff Whitfield (The Quarry at Crystal Springs)
The PGA Professional Championship has served as a showcase event for PGA of America golf professionals since 1968. The field consists of past champions, the top 20 players and ties from the previous year’s championship, and players qualifying through section championships.
Following the first 36 holes of play, the field of 312 players will be reduced to the low 90 scorers and ties. Those players will advance to play in the third round before the field is reduced to the low 70 scorers and ties for the final round.
