Okta announced an expanded partnership with the PGA of America on February 5 2026, extending its identity security and AI‑powered experience services to the organization’s more than 30,000 golf professionals nationwide.
The new agreement builds on an existing technology relationship and incorporates Okta’s identity security fabric, which consolidates access across thousands of applications, along with AI‑enabled authentication and authorization tools. The partnership will allow the PGA to protect user access while delivering personalized, AI‑driven interactions for players, fans, and stakeholders.
By securing the identity and access needs of a high‑profile, globally recognized organization, Okta reinforces its position as a leading provider of identity solutions for large enterprises and high‑visibility customers. The deal also highlights Okta’s growing presence in the AI‑agent security space, as the PGA will use Okta’s AI‑powered identity services to secure nonhuman identities and enable next‑generation AI experiences.
Okta’s recent financial performance supports the strategic value of the partnership. In Q3 FY2026, the company reported revenue of $742 million, beating estimates, and earnings per share of $0.82, a beat of $0.06. Management guided for FY2026 revenue of $2.906 billion to $2.908 billion, underscoring confidence in continued growth and the ability to generate recurring subscription revenue from large, distributed customers.
Shannon Duffy, Okta’s Chief Marketing Officer, said the company is proud to fuel the digital evolution of the PGA, ensuring secure AI deployment and delivering personalized experiences. Kevin J. Scott, Chief Technology Officer of the PGA, noted that the partnership will protect the global community and accelerate AI adoption, enabling the organization to serve its members more effectively.
The partnership positions Okta against competitors such as Microsoft and emerging IAM startups, expanding its addressable market in AI security and demonstrating its ability to scale in complex, high‑volume environments. The deal signals Okta’s continued focus on high‑profile, enterprise‑grade customers and its commitment to securing both human and nonhuman identities.
