T The PGA of America Mission

he PGA of America was founded Jan. 17, 1916, when a group of golf professionals in the New York City area, accompanied by several prominent amateur golfers, met to discuss forming a professional association. Since that informal gathering, The PGA of America has grown into the world's largest working sports organization with more than 28,000 members and apprentices. As the leaders in the game, The PGA of America is dedicated to promoting interest in the game of golf to everyone, everywhere. It strives to establish and maintain professional standards of practice for the golf profession and enhance the well-being of its members. The PGA of America devotes itself to assisting in the education and employment of today’s PGA Professionals, and developing their knowledge, training and business acumen. For the enjoyment of golf enthusiasts everywhere, the Association continues its promotion of the game by conducting four major spectator events: The PGA Championship, begun in 1916; the Ryder Cup Matches, which will be held at Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. in September; the Senior PGA Championship; and the PGA Grand Slam of Golf. As part of its mission, The PGA of America dedicates itself to the development of the next generation of golfers. The PGA Foundation promotes a variety of junior programs through "First Swing," "Clubs For Kids," and "Kids On Course" programs. In addition, The PGA of America conducts the Westfield PGA Junior Championship, one of the major championships on the junior circuit, and the Callaway Golf PGA Junior Series. The PGA of America continues to flourish by adhering to the principles that were set down by its founders.
