Trivia: What does the acronym for the sports organization PGA stand for?
Personal Golfing Assembly
Professional Gopher Alliance

Professional Golfers’ Association
Correct Answer: Professional Golfers’ Association
So why is this answer correct? : In January 1916, a group of professional and amateur golfers convened at the Taplow Club in New York City at the invitation of Rodman Wanamaker, the son of the founder of Wanamaker’s department stores (now Macy’s). Wanamaker believed that golf needed a more formal organization to help the sport gain popularity. After a series of several meetings, the Professional Golfers’ Association was officially established on April 10, 1916.
