TGI Golf

If you are a PGA Professional running a pro shop in the UK or Ireland, TGI Golf makes you a part owner of a buying and retail services group instead of a paying member. You pay no monthly or annual subscription, and Partners get annual cash dividends and bonus shares. The company says its Partners run more than 500 pro shops and account for about 18% of UK golf market turnover, and it reports returning over £1m to Partners in 2025 and over £11m across 20 years. It says it has backed PGA Professionals for 40 years, and you can compare it with other golf buying groups and pro shop and golf retail suppliers based in the United Kingdom.

Better buying terms on the brands you stock

You buy through more than 60 Partner Suppliers, which the company says are contractually bound to give Partners the best buying terms in the UK and Ireland, with all negotiated discounts passed on. Official suppliers named on its site include PING, Titleist, TaylorMade, FootJoy, Callaway/Odyssey, Mizuno, Srixon, adidas, Motocaddy and PowaKaddy, plus apparel lines such as Galvin Green, Glenmuir and Peter Millar. Suppliers also give the group deals, competition prizes, promotional material and exclusive product promotions to pass on to your shop.

Free retail advice in your own shop

Each Partner is assigned a dedicated retail consultant at no charge. Four consultants, with more than 100 years of golf retail experience between them according to the site, travel the UK and Ireland to give in-store advice on shop layout, merchandising, EPOS, planning, marketing and buying. Service providers on its list include Xpos, Shopify, dojo and Fore Group (Light Speed) for tills and payments, UPS for shipping, and the group’s own TGI Golf Insurance and TGI Golf Finance.

Marketing, events and travel for Partners

You get an email marketing system with expert support for under £30 a month, a free personalized point-of-sale hub, and My Marketing HUB, which a Partner at Donaghadee Golf Club describes using. The calendar includes a free business conference, educational seminars, Partner golf events, brand-supported events and the TGI PING Custom Fitter of the Year award. TGI Golf Travel has its own sales team, and the TGI Golf Foundation has raised more than £100,000. Joining is open to PGA Professionals, involves a one-off investment, and the application asks for your PGA region, PGA number and club.

Who you will work with

You know in advance who runs the group and who may visit your shop. According to its team page, Managing Director Adele McLean leads the business, with Amanda Wilson as Finance Director and Chris Taylor as Retail Team Manager. The retail consultants are Ricky Gray (Scotland), Simon Keeling, Peter Smyth and Iain Wright. The group was established in 1984 by a group of golf professionals, and its board is drawn from golf clubs, so the people setting its direction come from clubs like yours.

How the firm charges

Besides the one-off investment and the optional email marketing fee, the site states there are no hidden costs, and central invoicing is cost free where applicable, so paying suppliers through the group adds no charge where it applies.
