Collaboration and transparency are the cornerstones of building trust and achieving greatness. Fostering an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute. My mission is to evolve alongside our partners, ensuring that we remain united in our efforts to create a better future for all.

In the Community

As a dedicated leader within my community, I believe that strong leadership leads to community engagement and is vital for growth. By fostering connections and empowering everyone involved to reach new heights and achieve their personal and professional goals, this will ensure the growth of our professional and the game we love.

As a proud alumnus of the Coastal Carolina University PGA Golf Management Program, it is with great enthusiasm and passion I recommend, and endorse, Paige Cribb as the next Secretary of The PGA of America in 2026. I had the pleasure of getting to know Paige during her early years at CCU, where she immediately made an impact on the program with her personality, passion, and care for the students. Paige made an immediate impact on the individual students and the program by bringing her real-life experiences as a PGA Professional, leading by example with her joy and pride being a PGA Member. Paige is just what the PGA of America needs – a leader who cares, will put the PGA membership first in her service, and experience in elected positions at the national and section level.

There are few PGA Golf Professionals for whom I hold greater respect than Paige Cribb. Throughout my career, Paige has been an invaluable teacher, leader, and mentor. Her guidance has played a pivotal role in my development, and I would not be where I am today without her unwavering support.

Paige is a genuine leader who brings passion, dedication, and integrity to everything she does. She exemplifies the highest standards of professionalism and consistently demonstrates what it means to work hard while caring deeply for those around her.

As a graduate of the PGA Golf Management Program at Coastal Carolina University, I witnessed firsthand her commitment to the game and to the growth and advancement of the PGA of America. Whether assisting me with crafting my academic schedule or simply offering a thoughtful, listening ear, Paige has always been present, always supportive, and always invested in my success.

I can think of no stronger candidate for Secretary than Paige Cribb. I am confident that under her leadership, the PGA of America will continue to grow, evolve, and thrive.

I am proud to recommend Paige Cribb for PGA of America Secretary. During my time at Coastal

Carolina University, Paige wasn’t just my teacher—she was a mentor, friend, role model, and

someone who genuinely shaped my growth as a PGA Professional.

Paige has a remarkable ability to make every student feel seen, supported, and capable. She’s one

that simply inspires others to be better by being in her presence, because you would never want

to let her down. She took the time to mentor me in ways that went far beyond the classroom,

always leading with patience, integrity, and an unwavering passion for our profession. The

lessons I learned from her—about professionalism, service, and how to carry myself in this

industry—have stayed with me ever since.

Paige is the kind of role model every aspiring PGA Professional should have, and I can say

without hesitation that she embodies the values and leadership that should be at the forefront of

our organization. I wholeheartedly support her candidacy for PGA of America Secretary and am

grateful for the lasting impact she has had on my life and career.
