The Humber College Professional Golf Management Program offers students a play and practice program and provides tournaments for its members to take part in for player development.

“The Humber PGM program has been a proud sponsor of the CJGA for many years and we are excited to be expanding our sponsorship program with the CJGA” said Andrew Vento, Program Coordinator.  “A large majority of our students are CJGA alumni who have led our varsity golf team to many championships and advanced into promising business careers in the golf industry.”
