Purpose — to determine the components of the modern system of competitions in professional golf and their content. Material. Materials that were selected for analysis within the scope of the study related to the formation and development of competition system in professional golf both in the historical context and in relation to the current state. Methods: analysis and synthesis; historical; systematic approach. The results. The structure of the competition system in professional golf includes tours and tournaments within them. There are more than 20 tournaments today, which include different numbers of tournaments. The leading tours today are PGA Tour, European Tour, and Japan Golf Tour. At the same time, the most prestigious and oldest tournaments are The British Open, US Open, The Masters, and PGA Championship, which are sanctioned by the mentioned tours, and at the same time are held by independent organizations. They are the most profitable for athletes both from the view point of money payout, and the most rated in terms of the number of points received for the World Golf Ranking. The format of the competition coincides with most professional golf tournaments and involves playing 72 holes according to the «stroke play» system. The results of athletes are recorded in the World Golf Ranking to determine their position in the international sports golf arena. All leading tournaments provide preliminary selection either by the results of qualifying starts or by positions in the World Golf Ranking. Conclusions. The system of competitions in professional golf has been developing for about two centuries. Today, the interaction of all its links is coordinated thanks to the effective cooperation of the leading organizations. It also allowed to build a complex, multi-level system of competitions, which is characterized by a high level of organizational and economic efficiency. Moreover, it continues to develop in accordance with modern trends.
