Industry Partner Roles and Responsibilities

Each collaborating organization represents a specific sector within the broader golf industry:

It represents both Tournament Professionals and Club Professionals. PGA Members service more than 1.2 million Australians who play golf annually across domestic and international facilities.
  • Golf Australia (GA): The governing body focuses on growing participation across all levels, from grassroots players to elite competitors, spectators, volunteers, and industry partners. Key responsibilities include managing the national handicap system, administering the Rules of Golf, running national tournaments such as the Australian Opens, and introducing player development programs.
  • Golf Management Australia (GMA): Operating as the national body for the golf club management sector, GMA focuses on developing professional leadership within golf and club operations across Australia.
  • Turf Management South Australia (TMSA): TMSA serves as the peak representative body for sports turf managers, golf course superintendents, and industry professionals in South Australia.
