History of the PGA Tour

The original tour was begun in the year 1929 and ever since it was started the tournament players always wanted to operate independently from the club professionals. But the dispute was never heard till the 1960s when more sponsors came out and shown their interest along with wide television coverage the dispute came out in the open. The players wanted a larger amount of money as their rewards whereas on the other hand PGA wanted to raise the general fund so that it can raise the game at a local level.

After the finals of 1968 many leading professional golfers voiced their disapproval towards the system  and the venues and the loads of club pros around. The increased frustrations to the golfers helped in establishing a new entity in August that year and they decided to have a PGA Tour. Where only American Professional golfers became the part of it. A ten member committee headed by Joseph Dey was established and the entire PGA Tour came into the picture
