You can keep your current classification and enter into your grace period. The grace period starts on the last day of employment and will last one year from the unemployment date and the remainder of that fiscal year. For example, if your last day of employment is March 15, 2021, the grace period would expire on June 15, 2022. During your grace period you maintain eligibility to play in Section events. After the grace period expires, your classification will automatically change to a “Reserve” member, formally known as “IN” Inactive member.
A Reserve member is a PGA member that is not eligible for an active or life member classification. While classified as Reserve, you must continue to complete MSR and pay dues, which will be a lower fee. You can remain a Reserve member indefinitely; however, you are not tournament eligible. Reserve status time does not count towards meeting a Retirement Classification. Please be mindful that if you do not pay your dues, your membership will be terminated.
If you should find eligible employment within the grace period, you can update your employment change using the online change form via PGA.org or you may download the form and fax, email or mail to the Section. Please update new employment or any member changes within 10 days.
