Polished PGA Show booth staff and trade show models for the 2027 floor and Demo Day: product presenters, hitting bay and putting contest hosts, and booth reps. An Orlando crew briefed on your clubs, balls and apparel, at $85 an hour for every role.
Sources: 2026 attendance and country count as reported in show coverage (the largest crowd since 2009); brand count and floor space from trade press, while the official PGA Show site lists “1,000+ leading and emerging brands”. 2027 dates from the PGA Show.
A golf booth works when someone knows the club, the line and the buyer. Purple Exhibits sends PGA Show exhibitors product presenters, hitting bay hosts, putting contest hosts, trade show models and booth reps from the Orlando area. Every role bills at $85 per person per hour, four-hour minimum per shift, and because the team lives locally there are no travel fees. The 2027 show runs January 26–29. It opens with Demo Day on Tuesday at Orange County National Golf Center, then moves indoors to the West Concourse of the Orange County Convention Center from Wednesday to a 2 PM close on Friday. We staff the range and the hall as two plans. Book about six weeks ahead; rush requests need 72 hours’ notice.

Golf buyers notice a team that looks like one. These are real Purple Exhibits booth teams in matching uniforms, and the standard your PGA Show crew will meet.

Pick one look for the whole crew or mix them by day. You send the branded pieces; we send sizes, and every person arrives pressed and on time.
Your logo polos in a breathable fabric, a visor or cap and clean white sneakers. The classic golf booth look that buyers expect.
Best for: Hall days, Wed–FriShort-sleeve camp shirts in your brand color with light trousers, like the hosts on our cover photo. Relaxed and easy to spot.
Best for: Apparel walls, launchesQuarter-zip pullover, water-resistant shell and a brimmed cap, with a grip towel clipped on. Demo Day goes ahead in any weather.
Best for: Demo Day, TuesdayNavy blazer, pressed chinos or a knee-length dress, with loafers or block heels. Calm and sharp for the people who sign orders.
Best for: Buyer desk, dinnersGolf booths are built around bays, greens and walls. Tell us what yours has, and the card shows who works each day and what the week costs.
Eight ways to fill a golf booth for PGA Show 2027 staffing, from the range on Tuesday to the last buyer meeting on Friday. Every one of them is $85 an hour per person.
Camera-ready models stand with your new apparel line or a featured driver, keep the samples tidy and steer buyers to the order book.
Ambassadors work the aisle edge, trade a sleeve of balls for a badge scan and send each golf pro to the bay, the green or the desk.
For launch moments and photo walls, promotional models hold the product, pose for buyer photos and hand out your one-page sell sheet.
Hostesses greet appointment guests, run the coffee bar or lounge and handle seating at buyer dinners off the show floor.
Presenters learn your script, run launch monitor sessions and explain spin, launch and carry in words a shop owner can repeat.
Check-in staff manage Demo Day sign-up sheets, fitting cart lists and the guest list at customer events.
Reps scan every badge, ask the questions you approve and tag each lead as a pro, a buyer or a director of golf.
Tell us early if your buyers speak Spanish or another language, and we look for Orlando staff who speak it at the same rate.
Staffing more than one Florida event this season? Our Orlando trade show staffing crews work the convention center all year, and January exhibitors who also head west can book NAMM Show booth staff in Anaheim on the same rate.
An example 20×30 with two nets, a putting green and a buyer desk. Tap a zone for the job, or follow the numbers in the list.
Example 20×30 golf layout, not drawn to scale. Send us your own floor plan and we number the staff spots on it.
Two nets and one launch monitor. A presenter runs each session and reads the numbers back in plain words. A bay host keeps the next player ready, swaps clubs and scans the badge before the first swing.
The contest host hands out scorecards, explains the rules once, keeps the green clear between putts and posts names on the leaderboard. No scan, no entry.
A product presenter who knows your lineup by model and loft. Fitting questions that go deep get handed to your own fitter or sales lead.
A trade show model shows the new line, holds the order book open for buyers and keeps the samples folded and in size order.
Scheduled buyers check in here. The desk host finds the right rep, keeps a short walk-in waitlist and notes any no-shows so your team can rebook them.
A brand ambassador on the aisle edge. One sleeve of balls for one badge scan, then a quick question to send the visitor to the bay, the green or the desk.
Brands that have booked Purple
The show starts outdoors, at Orange County National Golf Center, not the convention center. It runs 9 AM to 5 PM, and the range calls for its own plan.
Early access is for PGA and LPGA Professionals and VIP guests. Put your best presenters on the tee line in the morning, because these are the people who order.
The range fills up after noon. Add a greeter at the tent entrance and keep a written list for the fitting carts so nobody waits without a time.
Demo Day goes ahead in any weather. Our range crew brings rain layers and grip towels, and we agree in advance where sign-ups move if the sky opens.
The range is a separate venue from the hall. We usually send a separate range crew so your floor team starts Wednesday rested. One or two people can work both to keep the story the same.
Range math: four people on a 9-hour Demo Day call is 36 hours × $85 = $3,060, with nothing added for travel.
Each job in a golf booth, the head count it needs and the week to lock it in.

Golf buyers want answers, not a pitch. These are the five roles we put in golf booths at the Orange County Convention Center and on the Demo Day range.
Models who stand with your new apparel line, keep the samples in order and steer buyers to the order book.
Presenters who run the launch monitor in your hitting bay and turn the numbers into a short, clear story.
Ambassadors on the aisle who trade a sleeve of balls for a badge scan and point each visitor to the right spot.
Hosts who run the green: scorecards, one entry per badge, a live leaderboard and prizes that go out on time.
Reps with a tablet who talk orders and timing with golf shop buyers and book the follow-up meeting.

The range on Tuesday and three hall days is a long week. Split the range crew from the floor crew.
One visitor hits for twenty minutes while buyers walk past. Set a swing limit and a host to keep it.
A putting contest with no badge scan gives away prizes and brings back no leads.
The floor closes at 2 PM. Book a lean, shorter Friday crew instead of paying for a full day.
Buyers who booked a time should not wait while every rep is busy. Put a host on the desk.

Each person bills $85 per hour, and every shift has a four-hour minimum. Product presenters, bay hosts, putting contest hosts, trade show models and booth reps all sit on that one rate. Our crew is based in the Orlando area, so you never pay for flights or hotels.
January 26–29, 2027, in Orlando. Demo Day is Tuesday, January 26, from 9 AM to 5 PM at Orange County National Golf Center. The exhibits run at the Orange County Convention Center, West Concourse: Wednesday and Thursday 8:30 AM to 6 PM, and Friday 8:30 AM to 2 PM.
Yes. We send a range crew for the Tuesday tent: greeters, presenters for the hitting stations and help with fitting carts. Demo Day runs rain or shine, with early access at 9 AM for PGA and LPGA Professionals and VIPs and general access from noon.
Yes, once we have your script. Presenters run each session and explain the main numbers in plain words. Detailed fitting stays with your own fitters.
Yes. A contest host handles scorecards, badge scans, the leaderboard and prize limits you set. Busy booths add a second host on Wednesday and Thursday.
Start with one host per hitting bay, one per putting green, a booth rep and an aisle ambassador. A 20×20 with one bay usually runs with four. The crew card on this page prices your own layout.
No. It is a trade event for PGA and LPGA Professionals, facility buyers and owners, directors of golf and retailers. We brief staff to talk orders and timing, not fan chat.
Your polos and your visors or caps, in the sizes we send you. For Demo Day we add rain layers so the logo stays on show if the weather turns.
Exhibits close at 2 PM on Friday. Any shift can be as short as four hours; most of our Friday calls run about six hours.
We keep standby staff in Orlando all week. If someone drops out, a briefed stand-in reaches your booth inside two hours, or you pay nothing for that shift.
No. We are an independent firm that exhibitors hire directly. We are not affiliated with the PGA Show or the PGA of America.
About six weeks before the show gives you the widest choice. We also take rush bookings with 72 hours’ notice.
Right here. Our PGA Show crews live around Orlando, so they report to the West Concourse on International Drive with no flights or hotel nights to pay for. The same team can also cover Demo Day in Winter Garden and buyer dinners near I-Drive, each person at $85 an hour with a four-hour minimum.
Yes. You can book one shift on any single day of the show, including the Tuesday range day on its own. The four-hour minimum per person still applies, and most Demo Day calls run about nine hours to cover setup and the 5 PM finish.
Often, yes. The 2026 show drew visitors from about 90 countries, so some exhibitors want a Spanish speaker or another language in the booth. Tell us which languages you need when you book and we look for Orlando staff who speak them, at the same $85 hourly rate.
Golf business also happens at the range, over dinner and in hotel suites. We staff those too, at the same rate.
