When the 62nd annual PGA Merchandise Show opened for business in Orlando, Florida on January 21st this year it was a momentous occasion for bespoke accessory specialist, PRG. For in just its sixth year in the golf business, the Belfast-based company has progressed from newcomer to major player, with easily the busiest stand and largest presence of any UK-based company exhibiting.
