History of the Pga of America
PGA MEDIA GUIDE 2011 HISTORY OF THE PGA OF AMERICA Celebrating its 95th anniversary as a leader of the multi-billion-dollar golf industry, The Professional Golfers’ Association of America is committed to developing new programs, which bring both frequent and infrequent players into the game. Today, PGA Professionals are recognized as “The Experts in the Game and Business of Golf.” Aware of the passion that millions share for golf, The PGA – through its 27,000 men and women Professionals – has dedicated itself to growing the game. The PGA’s origin can be traced to Jan. 17, 1916, when a group of New York- area golf professionals, accompanied by several prominent amateur golfers, attended a luncheon at the Taplow Club in New York City. The host was department store magnate Rodman Wanamaker. Among those in attendance were prominent golfers Walter Hagen and Francis Ouimet, and acclaimed golf course designer, A.W. Tillinghast. The purpose of the gathering was to discuss forming a national organization, which would promote interest in the game of golf and help elevate the vocation of golf professionals. Wanamaker, who viewed the public’s growing enthusiasm for golf as the beginning of a national trend, promoted the idea of an association to help accelerate the growth of the game. Little did Wanamaker or his guests realize that they were laying the groundwork for what would become the world’s largest working sports organization. Rodman Wanamaker PGA MEDIA GUIDE 2011 The PGA Championship has produced a trio of consecutive history-breaking finishes, beginning in 2008, as Ireland’s Padraig Harrington became the first European in 78 years to capture the Championship.
