Why the PGA Show Took Over Your Social Feed This Week

If your social feed feels like a firehose of unfamiliar logos, unreleased shoes, prototype bags, and everyone you trust suddenly talking shop from Orlando, welcome to PGA Show week.

The PGA Show is, at its core, a buyer’s show. It always has been. Retailers, green grass accounts, and industry partners gather to see what brands are building, place orders, and map out the year ahead. That part hasn’t changed. What has changed is how visible it all is.

From a social perspective, the PGA Show has become something slightly different. Not worse. Just different. For most people watching online, this week isn’t about buying anything right now. It’s a preview. A look at products coming later this year and in some cases even early 2027.

For smaller brands, this is the biggest room they’ll stand in all year. It’s their chance to introduce themselves to buyers who shape assortments and to prove they belong on the rack next to legacy names. For the giants like Nike, it’s a stage to show renewed energy and remind the industry they’re paying attention again.

Then there’s the middle ground. Brands like Sun Day Red, Payntr, and Quiet Golf. They’ve built momentum over the last year, and this week is about proving it wasn’t a moment. It’s about showing depth, consistency, and a real point of view.

There are hundreds of brands. Thousands of people. A few days of total sensory overload. Strange ideas. Luxury executions. Serious innovation. Some things you’ll forget by next week. Others you’ll be thinking about all season.

That’s why your feed looks the way it does. The PGA Show is golf showing its next hand, all at once.
