Head Golf Professional, Congressional Country Club

About Congressional Country Club Potomac, MD | It all began in 1921, a vision of our Founders Congressman Oscar Bland and O.R. Luhring. Their vision, to create a Club where members of Congress could talk business, was taken to Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, who fully supported the idea. In 1924 Congressional opened its doors. Five Presidents of the United States, the Rockefeller’s, Carnegie’s, DuPont’s, Astor’s, Lombardi’s and many other captains of industry have been Members of the Club. Our story is connected to the nation, our military with the OSS, and what’s best about the game of golf. Congressional’ s original purpose has been transformed to that of a family club with world class values and facilities. We are the #1 Platinum Country Club in the World. Our reputation is rooted in championship golf. We have hosted numerous championships, including the 1976 PGA Championship, 2022 Women’s PGA Championship, 1995 & 2025 Senior PGA Championships and 1964, 1997 & 2011 US Opens. Congressional continues to thrive with strong leadership, a vision towards the future and a membership and staff that are dedicated to the world class values and traditions the iconic Clubs of the country hold close. The Club will be hosting multiple Major Championships in the next 11 years, including the 2030 PGA Championship and 2037 Ryder Cup.
