The Professional Golfers' Association of America (PGA of America) is a
not-for-profit organization of golf professionals that was founded on April 10,
1916 with the purposes of serving their members and growing the game by
promoting and elevating the standards of the golf profession through world-class
education, career services, marketing and research programs.
In 1968, the
PGA Tour was spun off from the PGA of America as a separate organization to
administer professional golf tours.
On December 4, 2018, the PGA of
America announced plans to relocate its headquarters from Palm Beach Gardens,
Florida, to a planned 600-acre mixed-use development in Frisco, Texas.

The PGA Tour (stylized in all capital letters as PGA TOUR by its
officials) is the organizer of professional golf tours in the United States
and North America. It organizes more than 130 tournaments also known as the
PGA Tour. The PGA Tour is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Ponte
Vedra Beach, Florida, a suburb southeast of Jacksonville. Virtually all
tournaments are organized as non-profit organizations to
maximize charitable
giving.
Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, various (U.S.) state open
tournaments began, many organized by sections of the PGA. The tour, then
known informally as "The Circuit" for professional golfers in the PGA,
became more formalized on December 2, 1929.
Originally established by the
Professional Golfers' Association of America (PGA of America), it was spun
off in December 1968 into a separate organization for tour players, as
opposed to club professionals, the focal members of today's PGA of America.
Members on the PGA TOUR represent the world's best players, hailing from 29
countries and territories (93 members are from outside the United States).
Originally the "Tournament Players Division", it adopted the name "PGA
Tour" in 1975 and runs most of the week-to-week professional golf events on
the tournament known as the PGA Tour, including The Players Championship,
hosted at TPC Sawgrass; the FedEx Cup, with its finale at The Tour
Championship at East Lake Golf Club; and the biennial Presidents Cup. The
remaining events on the PGA Tour are run by different organizations, as are
the U.S.-based LPGA Tour for women and other men's and women's professional
tours around the world.
