The Philadelphia PGA Section Announces a Partnership with TrophySmack

Lower Gwynedd Township, Pa. (April 16, 2025) —The Philadelphia PGA Section is looking forward to another great year of working with TrophySmack, a company specializing in custom and unique awards.

TrophySmack will be supporting the Section by providing awards for the PGA HOPE Cup, a discount on medals for the Philadelphia PGA Junior Tour and will be working with PGA REACH Philadelphia on a revenue share.

“We’re excited to work with TrophySmack again this season” said Section Executive Director, Geoff Surrette. “Both our Veterans and Juniors loved the title belt awards from last season.”

“This partnership is a testament to our mission to redefine the thrill of victory,” said Chase Vernon, TrophySmack representative. “Working with the Philadelphia PGA, we’re excited to spark a new era in golf where every champion—whether a seasoned pro or an emerging talent—feels the rush of winning. We envision golfers getting truly excited to show off their championship gear. At the end of the day, social media posts hit differently when you’re celebrating with a championship belt or one of our other epic awards. The events, sponsors, and courses only stand to benefit from the increased organic exposure.”
