Golf Australia is the governing body for golf in Australia. Their goal is to raise the level of interest and participation in the game from grassroots golfers through to the elite levels, spectators, volunteers and associated industry bodies.

Key responsibilities include conducting national tournaments and championships including the Australian Open and the national handicap system, whilst developing programs and opportunities to engage as many people as possible into the game.

The PGA of Australia is the national sporting and sanctioning body for professional golf. The PGA is a not-for-profit organisation representing both Tournament Professionals and the +3,000 Club Professionals largely based in golf clubs and facilities.
