Many players won important events early in the 20th century, prior to the formation of the tour, with records being kept by the PGA of America.

This means that the golfer does not need to requalify for membership on the tour each year by fi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
