Survey responses are confidential and shared in an aggregated format via customized reports that can be filtered by

• Total income or base salary
• Average, median, and top percentiles
• PGA Section or state
• Job title, facility type, fee structure, number of holes, or job tenure

Class A PGA Professionals may earn PDR credits per cycle by completing the compensation survey, which are automatically applied upon its completion along with a summary of your responses available for your records.
