PGA STORIES
April 10, 1916: The Day The PGA of America Was Born
(Via PGA.com on April 10, 2023-By Ryan Adams, PGA)
How did the PGA of America get its start?
At lunch, of course.
The Professional Golfer's Association of America was originally conceived in January 1916 in New York City. A group of New York-area golf professionals and prominent amateur golfers, including the likes of fivetime PGA Champion Walter Hagen, 1913 U.S. Open Champion Francis Ouimet, and famed course architect A.W. Tillinghast, attended a luncheon hosted by department store magnate Rodman Wanamaker at the ninthfloor restaurant of the Wanamaker Store in New York City.
On April 10, 1916, in the second-floor boardroom of the Hotel Martinique on 32nd and Broadway, the Professional Golfers’ Association of America was established. There were 78 members elected that day, including 35 PGA Charter Members.
The Association began with seven PGA Sections: Metropolitan, Middle States, New England, Southeastern, Central, Northwestern, and Pacific. The PGA of America, destined for a century of excellence, had begun.
