The Caribbean Golf Association (CGA) announced the official admission of the Bermuda Golf Association (BGA) as a full member of the regional body.
The milestone decision was made during the CGA’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), held last week at Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic, alongside the 30th Caribbean Golf Classic.
BGA had previously submitted a formal application and, during the AGM, delivered a presentation outlining their vision, motivation, and the benefits they bring to the Caribbean golfing community. Following the presentation, member delegates voted unanimously to approve the application.
President, Bermuda Golf Association, Craig Brown, said, "On behalf of the Bermuda Golf Association (BGA) Board, we are pleased to confirm our progression to full membership within the Caribbean Golf Association. Bermuda has maintained a long-standing relationship with the CGA and has been working toward full membership for some time. Following two years of active participation as an associate member in CGA events, the Board felt this was the right time to take the next step. This move reflects our commitment to providing meaningful regional competition for our players, and we look forward to contributing as a supportive and valued member of the CGA while offering our assistance whenever called upon.”
The Caribbean Golf Association, founded in 1987, includes member countries from across the Caribbean region, including the Bahamas, Barbados, Cayman Islands, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Puerto Rico, Turks and Caicos Islands, and the United States Virgin Islands.
The CGA conducts five annual championships throughout the Caribbean, providing competitive opportunities for juniors, amateurs, and senior golfers, while promoting the continued growth of the game across the region.
