The European Golf Association is a non-profit organisation that was founded in 1937. It is an association of 49 National Golf Authorities in the European Zone aiming to promote the sport across the continent, strengthen the unity of its members, and coordinate best practice for the development and sustainability of golf.
The EGA has coordinated European amateur golf championships and international matches for elite players in collaboration with its member federations since its early years.
Today, the EGA organises over 20 international events (EGA events) each year including the European Amateur, Ladies’, Mid-Amateur and Seniors’ Individual Championships, the European Amateur Team Championships of all different age categories, and International Matches such as the St Andrews and Vagliano Trophies which are run in collaboration with The R&A.
The European Championships (Individual and Team) for Golfers with Disability are also organised by the association, alongside EDGA.
