As Bellerive's grounds crew prepares for one of golf's premier events, PBI-Gordon is proud to support the professionals responsible for delivering championship-level playing conditions. The partnership reflects a broader commitment that has defined PBI-Gordon for nearly 80 years: championing turf professionals through product innovation, technical expertise, education and industry partnerships.

We're focused on listening to turf professionals, understanding the challenges they face and developing solutions that help them succeed," said Jackie Applegate, President & Chief Executive Officer of PBI-Gordon Companies, Inc. PBI-Gordon's longstanding presence in golf provides a window into the evolving demands facing golf course superintendents. According to company data, every course that has hosted a premier golf tournament over the past three years has used at least one PBI-Gordon product, demonstrating the role the company's solutions play in some of the industry's most demanding environments.

The company is investing in the development of new and improved products designed to help professionals address increasingly complex challenges across the golf, turf and ornamental markets. "Preparing Bellerive for a championship of this caliber takes an incredible amount of planning, expertise and attention to detail. Having partners who understand the challenges turf professionals face and are committed to supporting the industry is incredibly valuable," said Nick White, CGCS, Director of Agronomy, Bellerive Country Club. The BMW Championship sponsorship is the latest example of PBI-Gordon's continued investment in the golf and turf community. Through relationships with golf course superintendents, product development, technical support and industry education, the company remains focused on helping turf professionals meet the demands of today while preparing for what comes next. "For nearly eight decades, our role has been to champion the people who are out there every day solving real-world turf challenges. We're proud of the legacy we've built, but we're equally focused on what's ahead and how we can continue to deliver innovative solutions that make their jobs easier and help them achieve better results," said Applegate.

PBI-Gordon Brings Industry Support, Education, and a Little Fun to the 2026 GCSAA Conference & Show

PBI-Gordon brings industry support, education, and a little fun to the 2026 GCSAA Conference & Show. Jan 26, 2026 PBI-Gordon Corporation is heading to the 2026 GCSAA Conference & Show in Orlando, Fla., with a strong focus on supporting superintendents and showcasing proven turf management solutions. Attendees are invited to stop by booth 2448 to learn more about the company's long-standing relationship with the Golf Course Superintendents of America Association, talk disease and weed management with product experts, explore market-leading products, and even take part in a "putt for prizes" contest for a chance to win a premium putter. "The GCSAA Conference & Show is one of the most important opportunities we have each year to connect with superintendents and demonstrate our long-standing commitment to the industry," said Kevin Laycock, Vice President, Sales and Order to Ship for PBI-Gordon Corporation. "Through our support of the GCSAA Foundation and our focus on practical, science-backed solutions, our goal is to provide tools and insights that attendees can put to work this season and into the future." A Col. John Morely Centennial Campaign Legacy Leader, PBI-Gordon has donated to the GCSAA Foundation to commemorate the association's 100th anniversary in 2026. The donation helps support a new endowment honoring GCSAA founder, Col. John Morely, to fund new and innovative initiatives for the next 100 years. "PBI-Gordon Corporation is a decades-long supporter of the GCSAA," said Jason Manz, Vice President, Strategic Marketing and New Business Development for PBI-Gordon Corporation. "It's always an honor to stand by the association and the vital work it does in the industry to educate and develop superintendents, advance the profession, advocate for issues we all believe in, and ultimately grow the game of golf." Technical education from PBI-Gordon turf experts. PBI-Gordon's Field Development & Commercial Representative Team will also take the Trade Show Stage to share insights on managing some of the most common and challenging turf issues. Two brief, focused presentations will cover disease and weed control strategies that superintendents can implement right away. | Time: | 9:15 - 9:30 a.m. | | Topic:"Sedge and Broadleaf Weed Control Solutions from PBI-Gordon, featuring Arkon(TM) and Q4(R) Plus | | Presented by: | Alan Estes, M.S., Southeast Field Development Representative Jared Hoyle, Ph.D., Midwest Field Development Representative | Proven products on display. In addition to education and industry support, PBI-Gordon will highlight several trusted turf management products at the show, including: * Arkon(TM) Herbicide Liquid utilizes the proprietary active ingredient Pyrimisulfan in an innovative liquid formulation for post-emergent control of nutsedge and kyllinga. The herbicide also reduces the number and viability of nutsedge tubers and controls dollar weed, chickweed, henbit, and many other labeled broadleaf weeds. * Pedigree Fungicide SC is an innovative liquid formulation that uses the active ingredient Flutolanil to provide fairy ring control. A preventative application of Pedigree also targets some of the most damaging turf diseases: brown patch, leaf and sheath spot, large patch, red thread, pink patch, yellow patch, southern blight, and gray snow mold. It delivers safe and consistent performance on creeping bentgrass, Kentucky bluegrass, annual bluegrass, annual and perennial ryegrass, red fescue, tall fescue, Bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, and St. Augustinegrass. * Q4(R) Plus Turf Herbicide for Grassy & Broadleaf Weeds combines four powerful active ingredients into a single, broad-spectrum formulation that kills crabgrass and other tough broadleaf weeds, including foxtail, chickweed, clover, and dandelion. Because it is pre-mixed, Q4 Plus reduces the need for tank mixing - which helps reduce labor costs. It is highly selective on cool-season turfgrasses - which makes it ideal for use on perennial and annual ryegrasses, listed bluegrasses, and fescues. It can also be used on bermudagrass and other select warm-season turf species. * Segway(R) Fungicide SC offers proven preventative and curative control of all four types of Pythium development: Pythium root dysfunction, Pythium blight, Pythium damping-off, and Pythium root rot. With no known cross-resistance with existing fungicides, Segway is an ideal addition to a rotation program. It is labeled for use on both cool- and warm-season turfgrass varieties. About PBI-Gordon With a line of herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, growth regulators and other products, PBI-Gordon Corporation is a national leader in the professional turf and ornamental management industry. Based in the Kansas City metro area, PBI-Gordon has been in business for more than 75 years and is 100 percent employee-owned.
