Info

The name of our organization is the PGA TOUR, a tax-exempt membership group of professional golfers that plays more than 100 official money tournaments on three Tours – the PGA TOUR, Champions Tour and Nationwide Tour. Our headquarters are located in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, southeast of Jacksonville. We should never be referred to as the PGA as we are a different organization than the PGA (of America). We are the PGA TOUR. On second reference, you can call us the TOUR. The PGA is the Professional Golfers’ Association of America, a membership organization for the nation’s club professionals. The PGA runs the PGA Championship, Senior PGA Championship and Ryder Cup Matches, among other championships. The PGA headquarters are located in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. The PGA TOUR and PGA of America were affiliated until 1968, when the tournament players, a small subset of the total PGA membership, broke The PGA TOUR is the world’s foremost golf Tour, with 48 official money events from January through November. The membership includes 19 of the top 25 in the Official World Golf Ranking entering 2006, including Nos. 1-5 Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, Phil Mickelson, Retief Goosen and Ernie Els. The Champions Tour celebrated its silver anniversary in 2005 and continues to combine extremely competitive golf for champions of the game age 50 and above, with a fan-friendly environment that allows players to be the most approachable and accessible in all of sports.

The Tournament Players Division was renamed the PGA TOUR in 1975. Two other American golf organizations are involved in men’s professional tournament play, independent of the PGA TOUR but with their marquee events included on the PGA TOUR schedule as non-PGA TOUR cosponsored tournaments. The United States Golf Association, with headquarters in Far Hills, NJ, oversees the national championships (U.S. Open, U.S. Senior Open, U.S. Amateur, U.S. Women’s Amateur, etc.) and administers the Rules of Golf, among other duties.
