5 November, 2026

PacificPine Sports Partners with Shanghai New Epoch Bilingual School to Launch Full-Time Junior Golf Academy at PGA An Ying Shanghai

SHANGHAI, CHINA — PacificPine Sports (“PPS”), the exclusive operator of PGA of America Golf Academies in China, has entered into a strategic partnership with Shanghai New Epoch Bilingual School (“NEBS”) to launch a comprehensive full-time golf program starting in Spring 2027.

Based at the PGA Golf Academy at PGA An Ying Golf Club on Shanghai’s Chongming Island, the program introduces an elite dual-track framework designed to combine professional athletic development with an internationally accredited academic curriculum.

Under the daily schedule, student-athletes will undertake systematic golf coaching, technical development, and athletic performance training in the mornings at the PGA Golf Academy, followed by rigorous academic coursework at NEBS in the afternoons.

Beyond core swing instruction, the academy’s curriculum leverages the PGA Golf Academy’s proprietary coaching methodology, structured tournament scheduling, mental and physical conditioning, and tailored guidance for admissions to overseas universities. Enrolled students will also gain direct competitive pathways into premier regional and international junior circuits, including the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) and the PGA Junior Series in China.

Shanghai New Epoch Bilingual School, a flagship campus under the New Epoch Education Group catering to Grades 1–12, brings over three decades of international educational expertise to the venture. By joining forces, both organizations aim to create a premier athletic-academic hub in the Greater Shanghai Area that equips young golfers for success in collegiate golf abroad and elite tournament competition.
