The Professional Golf Tour refers to putting many professions

There are now multiple men's and women's professional golf tournaments around the world. Each tour has its own geographically relatively fixed base area. For example, the US Tour is basically held in the United States and the European Tour is basically held in Europe. The Asian Tour is basically held in Asia. However, this does not exclude that some tournaments often hold events outside their base area. For example, the PGA and European tours have their own events in Asia. However, as a rule, if a tour is held in the base area of another tour, it should be recognized by the local tour. This is why, whether it is a PGA Tour or a European Tour, it must be held in the Asian region. The reason for the event will be recognized with the Asian Tour or the same Asian Tour.

The golf professional tour system we are seeing is more about "crossing the river by touching the stones" in the practice process, step by step, rather than the emergence of a certain genius or great person inspired. In the early development of professional golf around the world, most professional tournaments were established with the help of a club, golf organization, or sponsor. With the increase of professional events, some high-level players earn more and more bonuses from the events, so that they can earn a living and maintain a high standard of living. As a result, these players gradually began to focus on getting bonuses from the tournament, and slowly gave up teaching work at the original club. Later, a sufficient number of professional events were formed in a certain area, and these events were connected to form a tour. The tour is generally supervised and guided by a separate agency, but many of its individual events are still run by previous independent entities.

In the tour system, the PGA Tour can be called a pioneer, but it has not yet been agreed exactly when it was established. The Professional Golfers' Association of the United States (we usually call it PGA of America) was founded in 1916. From this year, the list of players who have won the most in each season has been truly documented. The familiar way of calculating Career Win Totals can only be traced back to this year. However, when the Professional Golfers Association of America was established, it did not immediately explicitly propose to hold a tour, and many important events related to it were also created many years later. In 1930, Bob Harlow was appointed manager of the PGA Tournament Bureau. It was not until 1932 that the Professional Golfers Association of the United States established an organization specifically for professional players participating in the game, and in 1934 established a prize list.

In 1968, the Tournament Players Division of the Professional Golfers Association of the United States began to separate, and successfully separated from the PGA and established a new portal, forming the current PGA Tour. Therefore, although the PGA Tour has a close relationship with the PGA from a historical perspective, in reality, they are basically two independent and independent organizations. In other words, PGA Tour and PGA are two different things. If you do not understand this, you cannot have a clear understanding of the current international golf organization.

The other major world tour dates were:

LPGA Tour: 1950

European Tour: 1972

Japan Tour: 1973

Asian Tour: 1995

Same Asian Tour: 2009

Before the establishment of the tour organization, people used to use the term Circuit to refer to professional golf events in a certain area. For example, before the establishment of the European Tour, European events were part of the European League.

Due to the rapid development of professional golf in some regions and the increasing number of high-level players, sponsors and TVs also want to be able to fund a larger number of high-level professional golf tournaments for commercial interests, but there are existing tours in the region It is also unable to accommodate so many players to participate, which has created a contradiction between supply and demand. In the end, the solution is for some large-scale tours to set up their own secondary tours, also known as development tours. These tours have relatively low bonuses, and players are generally younger but at a higher level. Each year, the large-scale tour will give its development tour some full-card places, allowing players who have performed well on the development tour to enter the large-scale tour. At present, the two more mature development tours in the world are the Nash Wide PGA Tour (1990, its predecessor was the Ben Hogan Tour) and the Challenge Tour of the European Tour (1986).

In addition to this, some older golfers, although it has been difficult to gain a foothold on the tour for a long time, still have high golf skills, have a large number of fans, and have certain commercial promotion value. For these players, there are also evergreen tours in large-scale tours, such as the PGA Tour Championship Tour and the European Tour Evergreen Tour.
