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.
Professional Golfers' Association of America
Founded in 1916, the Professional Golfers' Association of America is headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, United States and claims to be the second largest working sports organization in the world with more than 28,000 members. The organization is now primarily a representative body for club and teaching professionals, as elite tournament golf in the United States is run by the PGA Tour, which became independent of the PGA of America in 1968. There is a separate organization for female professional golfers, both tour pros and club and teaching professionals, called the LPGA. The governing body for the game of golf in the U.S. is the United States Golf Association.
