The PGA Tour also operates the Champions Tour, for players 50 and over, and the Web.com Tour, a second-tier championship. In 1981, the PGA challenged the PGA Tour's use of the PGA acronym. At the end of August 1981, the championship was renamed TPA Tour for Tournament Players Association, but as of March 1982, the PGA Tour regained its name following the settlement of the dispute with the PGA.
The PGA Tour does not organize the Ryder Cup, contested by team, and the four Grand Slam tournaments. However, these last appointments are on the calendar. The PGA Tour is also not a federation managing golf in the United States.
This role falls to the United States Golf Association. The other tournaments on the calendar, on the other hand, are organized by the PGA Tour.
