Interactive Mind Map
Founded in 1916, the Professional Golfers
Association of America (PGA of America) is headquartered in Palm Beach
Gardens, Florida, and is the largest working sports organization in the
world, with more than 28,000 members. The organization is now primarily
a representative body for its club and teaching professionals, both men
& women. Another major golf teaching body in America is the United
States Golf Teachers Federation.
Professional golf tournaments in the U.S. are run by the PGA Tour, which
became independent of the PGA of America in 1968. The PGA of America
conducts 40 tournaments for its member professionals each year,
including events which attract elite tournament golfers:
-
Ryder Cup
Matches (in cooperation with the PGA
European Tour)
-
PGA
Championship (one of men's golf's four
major championships)
-
Senior PGA
Championship (one of the five senior
majors)
-
PGA Grand
Slam of Golf (a match exclusively for
the winners of the four major
championships)
