Wanderlust World Wanderlust World The Professional Golfers' Association of America, or PGA, is a national athletic association that has helped to create some of the world's most iconic and challenging golf courses. These clubs become the backdrop for the sport's greatest battles between legends like Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods. PGA Title Tour clubs are not only some of the sport's most challenging venues, but also some of its most beautiful.
The Augusta National Golf Course has been the home of the PGA's top tournament, the Masters, since 1934. Located in sunny Augusta, Georgia, the club's membership is invitation-only, but once a year thousands come to see golf's greatest athletes win the coveted green jacket. On a course evoking decades of history, Augusta golfers struggle through Amen Corner on the 12th and 13th holes and try not to hit the Eisenhower Pine on the 17th hole.
