The Difference Between the PGA of America and PGA Tour | 2009 Senior PGA Championship
Thanks for posting that, but can this be correct;
Quote:
The PGA Tour hosts 47 events annually and is made up of three tours: The PGA Tour, the Champions Tour — for those professionals over the age of 50, and the Nationwide Tour — for those professionals who have not qualified for their Tour card or did not play well enough to remain on the Tour.
The PGA Tour holds only 47 events between all three tours? Seems like it's a lot more, but I could be wrong.

Something that is not mentioned is that most of the PGA Tour players have also secured their PGA of America cards (It was once a requirement for playing on the PGA Tour. Not sure if it still is) and that the PGA of American has a representative from the PGA Tour on it's Board of Directors.
