PGA of Canada extends partnership with Lightspeed

The PGA of Canada announced today that it has extended its partnership with Lightspeed, a unified POS and payments platform heavily active in the golf space. 

First ignited in 2021, the renewed partnership between Lightspeed and the PGA of Canada will enable Canadian club professionals to access Lightspeed’s extensive industry expertise for an additional two years through the association’s Tee Talks education platform presented by TaylorMade and the Tee Talks Live National Conference. 

“We are so excited to have Lightspeed extend as a National Partner and the Official Golf Management Software of the PGA of Canada,” said Kevin Thistle, CEO, PGA of Canada. “Lightspeed provides our members with invaluable insight into how technology can help provide a better all-around customer experience at their facilities, and we are grateful for their support of club professionals and golf in Canada.” 

The Summer Surge

As part of this new partnership agreement, the PGA of Canada will add a ‘Summer Surge presented by Lightspeed’ aspect to its Player Rankings, a season-long campaign celebrating the success and performance of top club professionals competing in PGA of Canada National Championships. 

“Our partnership with the PGA of Canada is incredibly important to Lightspeed, and I am elated to be able to continue building on the great work we have already done,” said David Hope, GM, Lightspeed Golf. “While championing the learning and educational content for PGA of Canada professionals will always be front and centre, we are excited to this year expand our reach into the PGA of Canada national championships as well. Golf is what unites us, and it is critical that we show our commitment to supporting club professionals both off and on the course.” 

Lightspeed currently powers some of the top-ranked golf courses in Canada, including: TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, Tobiano, Sagebrush Golf and Sporting Club, The Algonquin, Bear Mountain, Manoir Richelieu, and Mickelson National — and around the world — including Kapalua, Cape Kidnappers, Kauri Cliffs, The Park West Palm, Coeur d’Alene Resort, and the K Club.
