About us
Few sporting organisations boast a proud 100-year heritage like the Professional Golfers Association of Australia. The PGA is a not-for-profit Member-based organisation representing Tour Professionals, Vocational Professionals and Trainee Professionals who work in golf facilities throughout Australia and overseas. Our Members play an integral role in servicing more than 1.2 million Australians who hit the fairways each year. The PGA owns and manages the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia, the official sanctioning body for all elite male Professional tournament golf in Australasia, and has a successful history in producing numerous Major winners and world ranked players including Kel Nagle, Peter Thomson, Jack Newton, Greg Norman, Ian Baker-Finch, Robert Allenby, Stuart Appleby, Geoff Ogilvy, Adam Scott and Jason Day. The Australian PGA Championship, Emirates Australian Open, World Super 6 Perth, ISPS HANDA New Zealand Open and Fiji International are just a few of our sanctioned tournaments that carry World Ranking Points. To ensure the Australian golf industry maintains its position as one of the best in the world, the PGA provides industry specific training and education opportunities for those seeking to start, advance or consolidate their career in the golf industry. The PGA runs three education divisions: the PGA Academy, PGA International Golf Institute and PGA Centre for Learning and Performance. Collectively, these divisions offer traineeships, further education and performance coaching to PGA Members, Tour Professionals and the public - both domestic and international. Golf is one of Australia’s most popular participant activities and a significant contributor to the Australian economy generating over $2.7 billion annually.

The PGA of Australia and Golf Australia has today announced that its respective commercial operations will combine to leverage growth opportunities and create operating efficiencies. Michael McDonald, previously PGA’s Commercial Director, has been appointed as Chief Commercial Officer, with his role set to oversee commercial growth, partnerships, broadcast operations and Australian golf’s two major events in the Australian PGA Championship and the ISPS HANDA Australian Open. Following the development of the first industry-wide Australian Golf Strategy in 2021, golf in Australia continues to go from strength to strength with unprecedented participation numbers peaking at 3.5 million adult Australians and continued growth in professional golf. At the core of the strategy is galvanising the industry through working together, growing revenue and attracting new fans to the game, something that’s already been achieved by the peak bodies working side by side out of the Australian Golf Centre at Sandy Golf Links in Cheltenham, Victoria since 2022. Following rapid growth of our Tours and growing rate of golf participation that is served by more than 3,000 PGA Professionals, the PGA and Golf Australia have already secured a number of leading brands as Australian Golf Partners in BMW Australia, adidas , Challenger Limited, Callaway Golf, New Era Cap, Southern Comfort and TaylorMade Golf Company. The unification of the PGA of Australia and Golf Australia commercial teams will provide enhanced outcomes for our commercial partners, with Michael sitting on the executive team of the two organisations and reporting to both the GA and PGA CEO. Following guidance from international sports marketing leaders Two Circles on this commercial project, a new Head of Growth role has been created with Jeremy Francis joining the team, while major events responsibilities in the joint commercial structure will be overseen by Antonia Beggs, with the former Championship Director at the DP World Tour joining Australian golf earlier this year.
