PROFESSIONAL GOLFERS ASSOCIATION

'Professional Golfers' Association', (with or without the apostrophe), is the usual term for a professional association in men's golf. It is often abbreviated to 'PGA'. There are several PGAs around the world, including:

★ Professional Golfers' Association (Great Britain & Ireland)

★ Professional Golfers Association of America
The women's equivalent is 'Ladies Professional Golf Association', commonly abbreviated to LPGA. The USA association is called the LPGA. Other women's bodies have territorial designations in their names, eg LPGA of Japan, LPGA of Korea.
The organisations which run the world's two leading professional golf tours have the initials PGA in their names, but they are now independent of the Professional Golfers' Associations which established them:

★ PGA Tour (which runs the PGA Tour, Champions Tour and Nationwide Tour)

★ PGA European Tour (which runs the European Tour, Challenge Tour and European Seniors Tour)
