History
The PGA Tour became a separate entity in 1968, branching off
from the PGA of America, which is now primarily an association
of club professionals. Tournament players formed their own organization,
the Association of Professional Golfers (APG). Later in 1968,
the tournament players abolished the APG and agreed to operate
as the PGA "Tournament Players Division," a fully
autonomous division under the supervision of a new 10-member
Tournament Policy Board. The name would officially change to
the "PGA Tour" in 1975.
In 1981, the PGA Tour had a marketing dispute with the PGA
of America and decided to officially change its name. Beginning
in late August 1981, it became the TPA Tour, for the "Tournament
Players Association." The disputed issues were resolved
within seven months and the tour's name was changed back to
the "PGA Tour" in March 1982.
