The PGA Tour is a professional golf course for men who plays mainly in États-Unis.

The PGA Tour was an independent entity of the PGA in 1968. Before 1968, he was champion of the PGA of America’s Tournament Players Division. Le PGA Tour gère également le Champions Tour, pour les joueurs de 50 ans et plus et le Web.com Tour (en), championnat de second niveau. In 1981, the PGA contested the use of the PGA acronyms on the PGA Tour. Since August 1981, the champions were renominated by the TPA Tour for Tournament Players Association, but since March 1982, the PGA Tour has retroactively been named the suite of conflict rules with the PGA.

Le PGA Tour n’organise pas la Ryder Cup, disputée par équipe, et les quatre tournois de Grand-chelem. Ces derniers rendez-vous figurent toutefois au calendar. The PGA Tour n’est pas non plus une federation gérant le golf aux États-Unis. This rule lies with the United States Golf Association. Other tours of the calendar are organized by the PGA Tour.
