As the official sanctioning body for all elite male professional tournament golf in Australasia, the PGA has a successful history in producing numerous Major winners and world ranked players, including Kel Nagle, Peter Thomson, Jack Newton, Greg Norman, Robert Allenby, Stuart Appleby, Geoff Ogilvy and Adam Scott.
