PGA Partners Ping and Acushnet were among the winners of the 2025 Foremost Supplier Awards when the group’s membership recognised the brands that have delivered outstanding performance, service and commercial support over the past 12 months.
Ping claimed four honours including the coveted Supplier of the Year, alongside the Outstanding Customer Service award. The brand also won in the Best Woods and Best Irons categories for their G440 range.
“Receiving this level of recognition from Foremost members is incredibly rewarding for our team,” said Lisa Lovatt, Managing Director of Ping Europe.
“Winning four awards, including Supplier of the Year for the 16th time, reflects the strength of our partnership with Foremost professionals and the continued impact of G440 through custom fitting in their stores.”

Acushnet also enjoyed success, winning Best Golf Ball for the Titleist Pro V1, celebrating its 25th anniversary, and Best Wedges for the Vokey SM10, while FootJoy’s Traditions model was named Best Golf Shoes.
“Pro V1 and Vokey wedges continue to be trusted by golfers at every level of the game, and it is especially rewarding to see that recognised by Foremost professionals who work closely with their customers through fitting and product expertise,” said Spencer Manning, Titleist Head of Sales.
“Awards like this highlight the importance of strong partnerships between suppliers and PGA professionals in helping golfers get the most from their equipment.”
