PXG Marks 5th Year of Women's Golf Month with Expanded #SheGolfs Invitation to Play Amid Historic Surge in Women's Golf Participation

Scottsdale, AZ, June 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
PXG, under the direction of its Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Renee Parsons, is proud to launch the fifth annual celebration of its #SheGolfs initiative for Women's Golf Month this June. Anchored in a deep commitment to access and equity, the 2025 effort underscores PXG's drive to expand the reach of golf to women of all backgrounds—through gear, mentorship, storytelling, and community.
The widespread effort arrives at a pivotal moment in golf. According to the National Golf Foundation, nearly 8 million women and girls played golf on a course in 2024—up 41% since 2019 and the highest level of participation since 2006. Women now make up 28% of all on-course golfers, a record high, and have driven roughly 60% of the net growth in green grass participation over the past five years.
From its inception, PXG has focused on serving the golfer in front of them—developing top-tier golf equipment tailored to a player's game, not their gender. This philosophy extends to PXG Apparel, where an ever-evolving line of high-performance and fashion-forward styles meet the needs of women across every facet of the game. PXG's LPGA Tour presence, featuring a growing roster of elite professionals, further reflects the brand's unwavering support of women at the sport's highest level.
'Women's Golf Month gives us a powerful opportunity to shine a light on the women's game—to celebrate the incredible talent, passion, and progress we're seeing and to extend a genuine invitation for more women to step into the community,' First Tee Board of Governors Member and PXG CMO Renee Parsons stated.
To kick off the month, PXG has announced two #SheGolfs Awards given to game-changing women who are championing participation in golf and making a difference through their work and personal efforts. Internal to PXG, the company recognizes eCommerce Solutions Manager Shelby Martinek. An avid golfer, Shelby dedicates her personal time to coaching First Tee youth. Helping shape the industry with her actions, PXG recognizes Jess McAlister, Founder and CEO of CATALYST9, for investing in women by bringing Women's Golf Magazine to the US in 2025.
Across the month of June, PXG will also deploy a series of meaningful opportunities. Key #SheGolfs initiatives include: #SheGolfs Day to Play – Fifth Year Running: In what has become a cherished annual tradition, PXG will once again offer all female-identifying employees a paid day off to celebrate the game. Participants will receive #SheGolfs socks and a personal note from Renee Parsons as encouragement to hit the course—and share where they stand in their journey.
