The 1982 PGA Tour was the 67th season of the PGA Tour, the main professional golf tour in the United States. It was also the 14th season since separating from the PGA of America.
The season began as the TPA Tour, then reverted to the PGA Tour in mid-March.[1] [2] The "Tournament Players Association" name had been adopted less than seven months earlier, in late August 1981.[3]
