PGA (Professional Golf Association) Tournaments Grow in International Markets/Golf Returns to the Olympics, Business and Industry Trends Analysis

The sport of golf is thought to date back to 15th Century Scotland.  Its popularity spread quickly among the leisure class of the time, with King James IV of Scotland thought to have been the first golf-playing monarch.  The game quickly spread on a regional and then global basis and became accessible over time to a wider and wider base of players and fans.  Today, it is a massive global income generator for golf properties, professional players and equipment makers alike.
Established in 1916, the Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) has 28,000 members who play or teach golf for at least part of their personal incomes.  The PGA Tour was organized to conduct major golfing events at the highest level.
