European Golf Association

The European Golf Association (EGA) is a non-profit organization which was founded in 1937. It is an association of 50 national golf authorities in the European Zone aiming to further promote golf at the highest level of amateur competition, strengthen the unity of its members, and coordinate best practice for the development and sustainability of golf throughout Europe.

The EGA organizes and coordinates over 20 European amateur golf championships and international matches for elite amateur golfers every year in collaboration with its member federations. The EGA also administers the World Handicap System (WHS) in Continental Europe and assists members with its implementation.
