The PGA Tour is an organization that takes care of the main professional golf tours in the United States. It is headquartered in Ponte Vedra Beach, a suburb of Jacksonville, Florida. Its official name is written all in capital letters, or “PGA TOUR”
The PGA Tour became an organization of its own in 1968 when it split from the PGA of America, which is now primarily an association of golf professionals, such as masters and club managers. Tournament players first formed their own organization, the Association of Professional Golfers (APG).
Later, in 1968, the players abolished the APG and agreed to operate as the PGA “Tournament Players Division”, a fully autonomous division of the PGA, under the supervision of a new 10-member Tournament Policy Board. The name then officially changed to “PGA Tour” in 1975.
