The PGA has launched a new tournament partnership with The QHotels Collection.
With seven resorts across the UK – including Slaley Hall in Northumberland and Oulton Hall in Yorkshire – QHotels operates a total of 11 golf courses.
As part of the agreement, PGA tournaments will be hosted at QHotels venues from 2026, ensuring events take place at some of the country’s top championship courses – including Forest Pines and Slaley Hall.
Beyond hosting PGA tournaments, The QHotels Collection investment will also contribute to the financial sustainability of PGA events, including supporting prize funds.
Keith Pickard – golf, health club and spa director at The QHotels Collection and a PGA member – said: “We are incredibly excited to partner with The PGA. This collaboration marks a significant step forward for golf in the UK, reinforcing our commitment to investing in the game’s future. By working together, we are creating more opportunities for players, professionals and enthusiasts alike, ensuring that golf continues to grow and thrive across the country.”
As part of its long-term vision, The QHotels Collection will also play a key role in grassroots golf, employing and supporting numerous PGA members across its resorts.
Duncan Rougvie, head of commercial at The PGA, added: “Our partnership with The QHotels Collection is a testament to our commitment to elevating tournament golf and delivering enhanced playing opportunities for PGA members. As we have communicated previously, our wider tournament strategy is a long-term project, but this agreement is a huge step forward, providing value for our members both in the short and long term.”
