What majority is required to change the PGA Constitution?

To change the PGA Constitution, a two-thirds majority is required. This threshold is set to ensure that any significant changes to the guiding documents of the organization reflect a strong consensus among its members. A two-thirds majority is commonly used in many organizations for constitutional amendments, as it balances the need for sufficient support while still allowing for necessary evolution or adaptation of the organization’s core principles and bylaws.

Using a simple majority, while easier to attain, may not adequately represent the views of all members, potentially leading to division within the organization. A three-fourths majority would be even more stringent, possibly making it harder to enact changes. Unanimous consent would require every member's agreement, which is often impractical and can prevent meaningful progress. Therefore, the two-thirds majority strikes an appropriate balance for constitutional amendments within the PGA.
