The Canadian PGA partnered with Nike Golf Canada as the association’s first major sponsor in the Canadian PGA National Education Program. Nike Golf becomes the presenting sponsor of the Instructor Beginner course in the Canadian PGA Teaching and Coaching Certification Program (TCCP) where the comprehensive club fitting component is introduced to all new Canadian PGA Apprentices. NIKE Golf will also be the recognized club fitting provider for all new Canadian PGA Elite Apprentices.
“The Canadian PGA’s mission statement is to develop, promote and support professionals in the game and business of golf” stated Canadian PGA executive director Steve Carroll. “We believe this new education partnership generously supported by NIKE Golf Canada will greatly enhance the Association’s ability to deliver on this value proposition for the Canadian golf industry.”
The Canadian PGA Teaching and Coaching Certification Program (TCCP) is a training program designed to provide Canadian PGA Members with an opportunity to develop teaching and coaching skills toward professional recognized accreditation. The TCCP program is exclusive to Canadian PGA Members and is based on scientific research and the latest teaching and coaching techniques in golf.
