Together, they successfully extended PRG’s reach to over 3,500 golf retail accounts nationwide, significantly enhancing the brand’s visibility. “Our aim now is to expand our footprint in the U.S. market. With increased resources and an expanded sales team, we’re poised to build upon the outstanding foundation laid by PRG Americas,” said Stephen Riley, PRG Founder/Owner and PGA Professional. “Establishing our own presence in the USA marks a significant milestone for our business and fulfils a long-time aspiration we first established for the PRG brand in Northern Ireland back in 2006.”
