The Professional Golfers’ Association of America is the first organization of professional golfers, founded in 1916. The PGA of America is distinct from the PGA Tour after the two split in 1968, even though the PGA Tour was founded by the PGA of America. Nearly 29,000 men and women make up the organization, and its motto is “Serving the Members and Growing the Game.”
The impetus for the PGA of America was a retail battle for the sale of golf balls. Rodman Wanamaker, owner of Wanamaker’s Store, hosted a luncheon and invited amateur and professional golf leaders to increase the popularity and professionalism of the sport. After the luncheon, the response was so positive that additional meetings followed, and the PGA of America was officially founded on April 10, 1916.
Since its founding, the PGA of America has grown, and the leaders in the sport continue to push its popularity. In 2003, the PGA of America created a Player Development department in order to promote and support sporadic adult golfers and families.
Despite the early beginnings of the Association, the organization did not file for any trademarks until 2007. Along with the classic nature of the game, the PGA of America has a classic logo and has not changed or rebranded much since its inception. The mark is an emblem with two golf clubs, a golf ball on a tee, and features the year of its founding.
Even though the PGA of America has separated from the PGA Tour, the organization own the trademark registrations for “PGA Tour Championship”, “PGA Tour Champions Tour”, “PGA Tour”, and “PGA Tour Since 1968.”
