PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Doug Ferguson, whose three decades with the Associated Press have made him the most-read golf journalist and one of the game's most respected chroniclers of professional golfers, has been named the recipient of the 2019 PGA Lifetime Achievement Award in Journalism. Ferguson will be honored on April 11 at the ISPS HANDA 47th Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA) Annual Awards Dinner at Savannah Rapids Pavilion in Augusta, Georgia.
Ferguson, 55, is the 30th recipient of the PGA Lifetime Achievement Award in Journalism, which recognizes members of the media for their steadfast promotion of golf, both locally and nationally. His work, spanning more than 500 golf events, reaches more than 4,000 publications worldwide.
"I think it's one of the highest honors a golf writer could aspire to," said Ferguson of his capturing the award. "It's very meaningful. I love what I do. If I didn't love it, I couldn't have done what I have done this long and at that rate of workload. It's the nicest form of recognition I could get."
