PGA of BC announces 2026 regional award winners
The PGA of BC is proud to announce its Regional Award Winners in ten categories of the 2026 Awards Program.
Following the selection of nominees by the Regional Awards Committees, PGA of BC members voted within their respective regions to determine this year’s winners for the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, Interior and Kootenays/Northern BC.
Each Regional Award winner now advances as a provincial finalist. Under this year’s revised process, the Provincial Awards Committee will select the Provincial Award recipients, who will be announced and recognized at the 2026 PGA of BC Awards Celebration on Tuesday, October 27 at the Langley Events Centre.
Provincial recipients will also be put forward as the Association’s nominees for corresponding PGA of Canada Awards, where eligible.
The PGA of BC thanks all members who participated in the regional vote and the Regional Awards Committees for their time and thoughtful consideration throughout the nomination process.
The Association congratulates this year’s Regional Award winners on their achievements and their contributions to their facilities, communities and the PGA of BC.
