2. PGA Tour - Overview

PGA Tour - Overview PGA Tour, an offshoot of the PGA of America, is the organization that runs the men’s Professional Golf Tour, in the United States. The PGA Tour is a completely separate organization than any other golf association in the States. This has been the case since 1968. Although the PGA Tour runs their yearly events, there is no restriction to women golfers playing on what is considered the men’s tour.

One of the annual tour events they sponsor includes the Qualifying School, Q-School, which is a way for a player to gain a tour card and the privilege to play on the tour. The top 30 players by score win their card for the next year. This event is held in the fall. Since this allows entry into tour events, the pressure to qualify is huge. Those that do not qualify but finish well are allowed to play on the Nationwide Tour. A three-time winner on this tour in one year also receives a tour card. The 20 top money winners earn their tour card for the following season.

Those players on the PGA Tour that are in the top 125 money winners maintain their tour card for the following year. Major tour events have special rules that extend the winning golfer’s tour privileges for three to five years. A life time card is awarded to any golfer who wins 20 or more PGA Tour events.

The PGA Tour operates three distinct tours. The first is the PGA Tour that is seen almost weekly on TV. This is the tour that has the top golfers from around the world playing for fame and fortune. The second tour is the Champions Tour, which is played by golfers who are at least 50 years old. The third tour is the Nationwide Tour, which is made up of golfers who are trying to gain a tour card for the PGA Tour. These are usually young golfers who are just starting their careers. All three tours are entertaining to watch and are show places for golf skill.

3. Charity and the PGA Tour

The PGA Tour has a long association with charity fundraising. The charities in each event city are recipients of significant moneys raised via the tournament. In 2005 the total money raised for charities passed the one billion dollar mark. The other money fall out of a PGA Tour golf event is the visitors that come to the city to see the event live. A major tournament can bring a large gathering of folks who are passionate about golf. These visitors will stay in the hotels and eat in the better restaurants. They make up part of the crowd you see on a televised event. It is the love of fine golf that motivates the crowds to come to the course and pay good money to see the pros play. It is the drama of a man challenging his fear and nerve while under severe pressure that has allowed the PGA Tour to raise so much money for charity. This combination has been good for golf and wonderful for the charities that receive the money.

4. TV and the PGA Tour

TV and the PGA Tour Television and the PGA Tour were made for each other. The PGA Tour would not be any thing like it is today without its TV popularity. This started in the 1950s and has grown like a parabolic curve over the last 50 some years. It started with a golfer nick named the ICE MAN, Ben Hogan, and shot straight up with TV viewers when Arnold Palmer came on the scene. Palmer’s charging style of golf appealed to the TV viewers. His face and body language made what he was feeling at the time clearly apparent to the TV viewer. You felt his anguish when things went bad and his exhilaration when he was staging one of his famous come-from-behind charges. Palmer is credited with putting professional golf on the map. After Palmer’s popularity was in place, Jack Nicholas challenged him as the king of golf. Jack won so often and had such skill that he soon overshadowed the great Arnold Palmer. He is and was considered by many to be the greatest golfer of all time. His place at the top is being challenged currently by Tiger Woods.

All of these personal battles by these great golfers make for dramatic TV. The courage to come through when all is riding on a single shot is admired by even non-golfers. TV does an excellent job of bringing the course and the play directly into the home. The grace under pressure comes vividly through the TV coverage. A viewer can feel the pressure in their gut, thanks to TV. Golf and TV make the perfect marriage.
