Lower Gwynedd, Pa. (February 3, 2026) — The Philadelphia PGA Section is proud to announce its new role as the presenting partner of “Inside Golf,” the region’s long-running and premier golf television program airing on NBC Sports Philadelphia.

“’Inside Golf’ has been the heartbeat of the local golf community for nearly three decades,” said Philadelphia PGA Executive Director Geoffrey Surrette, PGA. “By expanding our existing partnership with the show and the Birdwood team, we are providing an impressive and influential platform for our PGA Professionals to share their expertise, from world-class golf instruction to merchandising, community service, and facility management. This is about connecting the golfer at home with the PGA Professional experts who bring the game to life every day.”

“This partnership feels like a full-circle moment for Inside Golf,” said Birdwood Productions Owner Jack Flanagan. “The Philadelphia PGA Section created this show nearly 30 year ago to spotlight its PGA Professionals, and our goal since acquiring the program has been to honor that legacy while expanding its reach. With the Section as presenting sponsor, we’re doubling down on storytelling that educates, inspires, and gives golfers a deeper connection to the PGA Professionals who grow the game every day.”
