Based in Richmond BC, Canada, the Tour Development Academy was created to help aspiring golfers reach the highest levels in the game. Our students range from beginners, who are just wanting to learn the proper fundamentals, all the way up to PGA TOUR players.
​
Our services are NOT only reserved for elite players. While many TDA clients are elite Juniors, Collegiate, and Professional golfers, we still offer the same great coaching to those who are looking to take their own games, of any skill, to the next level. Many of our students are taking up the game for the first time, or looking to break 100, break 90, break 80, and we always get them there!
