Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club recently served as the official co-host for the 47th Annual South Florida PGA Selection Professional Championship, held September 15-17.
For competing PGA Professionals, this is considered the coveted event of the year with the top 14 finishers advancing to the 2027 PGA Professional Championship that is taking place April 25-28, 2027 at Streamsong Golf Resort in Bowling Green, Florida. From there, the top 20 PGA Professionals will advance to the 2027 PGA Championship at Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco in Frisco, Texas.
“We were thrilled to co-host PGA Professionals on our challenging Arnold Palmer golf course, and we were grateful to work with our co-host Quail Valley Golf Club,” said Rob Tench, Orchid Island’s General Manager. “We congratulate this year’s champion, Tyler Collet, Assistant Golf Professional from nearby John’s Island Club.”
Orchid Island completed a major renovation to its Arnold Palmer course in 2023 and it hosted a US Open qualifier in 2024. The renovation was undertaken by architect Brandon Johnson and encompassed all the greens and tees, bunkers, the short game area, and the driving range. Last year, Orchid Island completed a major refresh to its 15,000 square foot Golf Clubhouse.
