PGA TOUR Superstore will open three new stores in 2017. With a successful interactive retail model in place, PGA TOUR Superstore recently acquired a Sports Authority location in Glendale, Arizona, set to open in January 2017, and is also planning new stores in Hilton Head, South Carolina (for April 2017) and in Jacksonville, Florida (later next year). This November, PGA TOUR Superstore will also open a 45,500 square foot store in Woodland TX, its 27th store (just outside of Houston).
Glendale represents the company’s fifth Arizona location (joining Chandler, North Scottsdale, Scottsdale and Tucson), while Hilton Head represents their third store in South Carolina (joining Myrtle Beach and South Myrtle Beach) and Jacksonville will be the fourth PGA TOUR Superstore Florida location (joining Delray Beach, Naples and Orlando).
PGA TOUR Superstore’s have shown consistent growth serving more than seven million customers annually. Each store is staffed with PGA of America teaching professionals and houses up to 14 state-of-the-art swing simulators and hitting bays, and an expansive putting green along with an in-house club making and repair facility to provide a unique, interactive experience to golf enthusiasts of all levels. They offer the largest selection of golf and tennis equipment of any retailer in the U.S. pgatoursuperstore.com
