PGA Member Search

There have been several instances where counterfeit PGA member cards have been used by individuals trying to gain access to PGA Tour events and/or for a gratuitous round of golf.

For your information, all PGA member and apprentice cards will have a silver hologram for the "valid through year". A picture is not needed for the card to be valid. If you do grant any privilege for a PGA member/apprentice, you should require another photo ID with the same name, even if the membership card includes a picture. To be absolutely sure that a card is valid, enter the card's ID number below, call 1-800-4PGAPRO (1-800-474-2776) or call your section office.
