“We can’t wait to debut the PGA Show Winter Jam concert at the 2024 PGA Show,” said PGA Golf Exhibitions Vice President Marc Simon. “The surge in golf participation in recent years has been exciting and challenging for all who are passionate in their roles to serve the game. The concert is our way of showing appreciation for those efforts and an opportunity for us all to gather and unwind after a busy Show Day, enjoy music from a major music artist and have a good time while continuing to network with peers.”
