International PGA Options

[USGTF Admin]

The International PGA Ltd., headquartered in Nassau, Bahamas has recently been incorporated under new leadership. It provides PGA members from every golfing nation the first opportunity ever to belong to one organization of professional golfers.

Prior to the establishment of the International PGA Ltd. many national PGA entities did not recognize PGA members from other countries. According to International PGA president Glenn Pratt, "This made no sense." "If a PGA member from the Bahamas, Canada or elsewhere immigrated, for instance, to the United States, they were asked to completely redo their qualifications with the PGA of America. No questions asked. "Ironically, however, if a PGA of America member comes to the Bahamas, they expect the royal carpet! The International PGA Ltd., however, is an organization of inclusion and sets an example of true equality.”

The good news for the USGTF and the WGTF is that Glenn Pratt is a USGTF member as well as a member of our Golf Managers Association, having taken the course last May. The International PGA Ltd. recognizes and endorses all of our programs. And USGTF members, if they so desire, are eligible to join the International PGA Ltd.
