Ingrebourne Links Golf & Country Club
For 2025, The PGA Professional Championship consists of a field of 144 players who compete across four rounds in a strokeplay format.
The 2025 PGA Professional Championship will be played at Ingrebourne Links Golf & Country Club on June 10-13, and carries a total prize fund of £100,000.
The Championship has added significance because through a points system it decides the Great Britain & Ireland team that play America in the PGA Cup every 2 years which is the club professional's equivalent of the Ryder Cup. The next edition of the PGA Cup will take place in 2026.
In the early 70's, The PGA was juggling the demands of its traditional club pros with a new breed of tournament player led by the likes of Tony Jacklin and Peter Oosterhuis who competed full time.
During this period many pros, outside of the superstars like Jacklin, still combined club duties with playing, pitching up for Monday qualifying and if successful competing, before returning to the club shop for weekend duties.
At this point the fledgling European circuit, the forerunner of the European Tour, was going from strength to strength, buoyed by increasing sponsorship and the attraction of ever bigger crowds.
Simultaneously The PGA was also continuing to maintain its tradition of providing both regional and national playing opportunities for all members and this included the launch of the PGA Professional Championship.
