Since its formation in 1894, the United States Golf Association (USGA) has served as the national governing body of golf with a working jurisdiction that comprises the United States, its territories, and Mexico.

Inspired by its founders, Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts, the Masters Tournament has embraced its obligation and seized opportunities to promote the game since the Tournament’s inception in 1934.

Since its founding in 1916, The PGA of America has maintained a twofold mission: to establish and elevate the standards of the profession and to grow interest and participation in the game of golf.
