Canadian golf executive Peter Broome has been elected an honorary member of the PGA of America in recognition of his lifelong commitment to the game and his support for golf professionals around the world.

Broome, a native of Montréal, becomes only the 13th person to receive the honour. The recognition was formally presented during the PGA of America’s annual meeting in November 2025.

Broome’s connection to the game began at Royal Montreal Golf Club and Club de Golf Mount Bruno, where he played competitively as a junior and collected several local and provincial titles. His early development under PGA of Canada professional Bob Hogarth helped shape his appreciation for the work of club professionals and the business of golf.

After completing a degree in education at McGill University, Broome began working in golf operations before joining the Acushnet Company — the parent company of Titleist and FootJoy. Over a career spanning more than 30 years, he rose to senior vice-president of brand management and industry relations. He oversaw business operations in Canada and Latin America and built partnerships with many of golf’s leading governing bodies and associations.

“Both Adam and I were thrilled to learn of this incredible honour bestowed on our colleague Peter Broome. Being named an Honorary Member of the PGA of America is a testament not only to his remarkable career but also to the countless individuals whose careers he has profoundly influenced. Peter’s contributions to the game are immense, reflecting his deep love for golf and his unwavering commitment to its growth and success in Canada. We are overjoyed for Peter and his family,” said Laurence Applebaum, Golf Canada’s chief executive officer.
