PLAY GOLF AMERICA
UNIVERSITY
The PGA of America established GOLF: For Business & Life in 1999 as a growth of the game initiative designed to teach and improve the golf skill of college juniors, seniors and graduate students through instruction provided by PGA Professionals.
In 2008, The PGA of America expanded this program with added player development elements and renamed this initiative “Play Golf America University.”

Through 2008, PGA Professionals have provided instruction to more than 27,000 college students through Play Golf America University.
