Aronimink Golf Club’s Jeff Kiddie has been named 2023 PGA Golf Professional of the Year, writes Jim Finnegan for Main Line Today.

The award recognizes leadership, strong moral character, and a substantial record of service to the PGA and the game of golf.

Kiddie is the head pro at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square and has already won numerous PGA awards in his 23-year career, from his work in pro shop merchandising and retail to service and development.

He’s also held numerous leadership positions in the Philadelphia PGA Section. In 2019, he was elected its 43rd president, serving for two years.

He’s been a part of several high-profile events at Aronimink during his 15 years there, including the 2010 and 2011 AT&T National, the 2018 BMW Championship, the 2020 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, and a 2017 Gil Hanse course restoration.

“It’s always rewarding for me to see the membership proud when one of these events or projects goes as planned or better,” Kiddie says. “I think the club has been extremely happy with how well their course showed during the big tournaments we’ve hosted, and they’re extremely proud of the work that Gil and his team did.”
