  World Golf Championships - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The World Golf Championships are a group of four annual events for male professional golfers created by the International Federation of PGA Tours.
The objective was to create a larger group of golf tournaments with a high global profile by bringing the leading golfers from different tours together on a more regular basis, rather than just for the major championships.
Winners generally receive 35 to 39 Official World Golf Ranking Points, the most awarded for any tournament apart from the major championships, which carry 50 points, and THE PLAYERS Championship, which is allocated 40.
