Get your momentum going for the week at the Opening Session! Lauren Thompson will host this kick-off event to celebrate accomplishments of the past year, recognize award winners who have impacted the industry, including the Col. John Morley Award winner, and honor GCSAA’s 88th President T.A. Barker, CGCS, for his service.

This is more than just a session , it’s the gateway to a week filled with reflection and inspiration celebrating GCSAA’s century of keeping the game on course.

Be There for an Exclusive Panel Discussion

Moderated by Golf Digest Editor-in-Chief Jerry Tarde, this distinguished panel will feature Rhett Evans, CEO of GCSAA, Derek Sprague, CEO of the PGA of America, and Mike Whan, CEO of the USGA. Together, these leaders will offer an inside look at the state of the game — reflecting on where golf has been and, in GCSAA's Centennial year, where it is going.
