PGA PDR Case Study

How PGA Professionals earned 6,500+ PDR credits while deepening their brand knowledge

PGA Professionals are always looking for ways to sharpen their skills, stay current with the latest gear and fulfill their Professional Development Requirement (PDR) credits. Traditionally, earning these credits meant attending in-person seminars and juggling multiple education platforms.

ExpertVoice made it simpler. By bringing PDR-approved, brand-led education online, we’ve helped more than 1,800 PGA Professionals earn over 6,500 credits* — all through interactive, product-based learning experiences from top golf brands.

01 - CHALLENGE

PGA Professionals are some of the most influential educators in golf — but their busy schedules can make earning required PDR credits a challenge. Brands like TaylorMade, Cobra Puma Golf and Srixon/Cleveland/XXIO also wanted to reach this audience with credible, meaningful education tied to real product knowledge.

There wasn’t an easy, centralized way for both sides to connect — until ExpertVoice stepped in.

02 - SOLUTION

ExpertVoice created an easy, integrated way for PGA Professionals to learn, earn and save — all in one place. Through the PGA of America team on ExpertVoice, pros can:

  • Access interactive, PDR-approved lessons from leading golf brands

  • Complete short quizzes to test product knowledge

  • Automatically earn PDR credits (no extra steps needed)

  • Receive exclusive discounts up to 60% off MSRP

This experience bridges product education and professional growth—helping brands showcase technology and innovation, while giving PGA pros convenient, recognized learning opportunities.

Each course combined product insight, fitting techniques and innovative storytelling. With credits reported directly to the PGA of America team each month, pros could spend less time on paperwork and more time on the course.

The interactive modules are a great way to get high-level talking points about products I carry in my golf shop. Combine that with the PDR credits and discounts — it’s a no-brainer.
