Thirty-two golfers competed with Jim Barnes taking the win. In 1927, the Ryder Cup began and was hosted at Worcester (Mass.) Country Club. This was a competition that matched PGA Professionals to their counterparts from Great Britain. The Ryder Cup has since become one of the pre-eminent events in all sports. The Ryder Cup was canceled from 1939 to 1945 due to World War II but resumed in 1947.In 1956, the PGA celebrated its 40th anniversary. It had 3,798 members and 31 geographical sections. The PGA moved into its national headquarters in 1981 and the building was expanded in 1990 to accommodate the growing departments and staff.
