Driving Tennessee Golf Forward

Everything TGA Does Starts with the Game

The Tennessee Golf Association has had one goal in mind for over a century: to serve the golf community in the Volunteer State. Today, TGA represents over 50,000 members and 200+ member clubs throughout the state, runs 22 championships, and serves as the liaison between Tennessee golfers and the United States Golf Association.

Delivering On One Mission for Over a Century

The TGA's mission is to promote the game of golf in Tennessee. Since our founding, five clubs have grown to 200+, and the number of Tennessee golfers TGA serves has grown to over 50,000. The mission stays the same. The reach keeps expanding.

Handicap Administration

TGA maintains the USGA/GHIN Handicap Index for all 50,000+ members and course ratings for member clubs across the state. Those ratings allow Tennessee golfers to compete equitably within Tennessee and beyond through the World Handicap System.
