PGA Tour Superstore grand opening

PGA Tour Superstore on Saturday, Jan. 30 will open its newest location at the former Michaels arts & crafts space at 1398 Worcester St. (Rte. 9 east), as we first reported back in October.

This location is PGA Tour Superstore’s third Boston-area location and 45th store overall.

As part of the grand opening, PGA Tour Superstore will donate $15,000 to First Tee of Massachusetts, an organization that introduces golf to young people.
