Prepping for the new golf season starts now – especially if you live up north.
So, we wanted to review for you the Traveling Golfer Top 10, our annual look at the best golf products from the PGA Show in Orlando, Florida that you will need this year.
Understand how these products really stand out because PGA Show 2025 was the largest attended show since 2009, with over 33,000 golf industry professionals from 94 countries and all 50 U.S. states in attendance. More than 1,100 participating brands showcased the latest innovations in golf equipment, apparel, and technology in the $102 billion golf industry.
Plus, the show also marked the retirement announcement – and a prestigious award — of our long-time host who started the Traveling Golfer, Tony Leodora.
More on that but first let’s hit the Traveler Golfer Top-10.
