NEW – INFLUENCER BADGE

Do you create golf and golf lifestyle content for your followers? Do they love inside access to all that’s new in golf?  We’re happy to introduce our complimentary influencer event badge for active golf content creators with an engaged following on an established social media platform who plan to create and post golf/golf lifestyle content from the event.

• Social Media Influencers who have a combined following of 100,000 followers* or more across Instagram, “X”, TikTok, Facebook or YouTube.
• *If your follower count is less than 100,000, but your content hits the mark, we encourage you to still APPLY. We love creators with a following of all sizes and enjoy helping you grow your audience, there’s still an opportunity for you to be approved depending on the volume of applications we receive.
• Previous posts must feature golf and golf lifestyle content.
• Meme accounts and people who only repost other creators’ content should not apply.

You'll be notified of badge approval status within 10 business days of when you submitted your application. If you’re approved, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a QR code for your complimentary Influencer badge. You can use your QR code to pick up your physical badge at the event entrance.

Influencer badges are extended as a courtesy of PGA Shows. All PGA Show events are business-to-business events which means your badge allows admission to exhibits and special events with priority access given to golf industry professionals.

If approved, complimentary badge provides event access to capture content to post across your social accounts.

• Please let your followers know that the event is not open to the public (YOU are their inside access). We don’t want to disappoint your followers who are not qualified and try to attend.
• Please don’t impede the priority business of the event.  Do not block access to an exhibit or interfere with business meetings in booths or on the range.
• We encourage you to use #PGAShow and tag @PGAShow on “X” & Facebook; and @PGAGolfShows on Instagram as we often amplify attending influencer posts!

Each Influencer badge is issued individually. If you create content with a team (photographer, videographer, editor, etc.), each member of the crew must complete an additional influencer application and be approved separately. PGA Shows reserves the right to limit the number of badges provided to any organization.

Badges are non-transferable and may not be sold or distributed to any other entity or party. Any individuals caught selling/distributing their badge will be disqualified from attending future PGA Show events. This is non-negotiable.

PGA Show badges are limited in nature and will not be issued to children, family, or guests.
