The PGA Tour is an organization that manages the major professional golf tours in the United States. It is headquartered in Ponte Vedra Beach, a suburb of Jacksonville, Florida. Its official name is written in all capital letters, which is "PGA TOUR".
The PGA Tour became a separate organization in 1968, when it separated from the PGA of America, which is now primarily an association of golf professionals, such as instructors and club managers. The 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 completely autonomous division of the PGA, under the supervision of a new 10-member Tournament Policy Board.The name was then officially changed to the "PGA Tour" in 1975.[2]

In 1981, it had a dispute over marketing problems with the PGA of America and decided to officially change its name. As of late August of that year, it became the "TPA Tour", which stands for "Tournament Players Association".The dispute was resolved within seven months, and the tour name reverted to the "PGA Tour" in March 1982.
Because of the variety of similar names, it is important to clarify what the PGA Tour does and does not organize. The PGA Tour does not operate any of the four major tournaments or the Ryder Cup. The PGA of America, not the PGA Tour, organizes the PGA Championship, the Senior PGA Championship, and co-organizes the Ryder Cup with the PGA European Tour. The PGA Tour is not involved in the women's tours in the United States, which are controlled by the LPGA. The PGA Tour is also not the official governing body of the game of golf in the United States; that is the role of the USGA, which also organizes the U.S. Open. What the PGA Tour does do is organize all the other golf events week in and week out, including The Players Championship and the FedEx Cup as well as the Presidents Cup every two years.
