The PGA Tour sponsors about 20 major tournaments each year – many are televised and net proceeds are donated to charity.

In addition to tour events, the PGA Tour also owns golf courses: The Players Championship courses – often called TPC courses. The Champions Tour is for senior golfers and is also organized by the PGA Tour.

The PGA Tour logo has a male golfer, but female golfers have played on PGA Tour events. The first female golfer to play in a PGA Tour event, was Babe Didrickson Zaharias – over 50 years ago. There are no rules prohibiting women from PGA Tour events if they qualify or receive an exemption from the tour sponsor.
