Professional golfers' association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other meanings of "PGA", see PGA.
PGA stands for "Professional Golfers' Association". There are many national organisations of that name including:
- Professional Golfers' Association of America
- The Professional Golfers' Association (United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland)
Originally, PGA's were the central bodies for all forms of professional golf in their territories, but now some of them, including those of the United States and the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, are focused on the needs of the majority of professional golfers who work as club or teaching professionals, as opposed to being tournament professionals.
The two largest tournament golf organisations in the world, the PGA Tour and the PGA European Tour are now independent of the PGA's which established them.
