The European Golf Association governs amateur golf in Europe. It arranges amateur championships and international matches, and publishes the European Amateur Golf Rankings, an extract of European players from the World Amateur Golf Rankings updated weekly. Each season it awards medals to the top three players in the men's and women's rankings.

Membership is made up of 49 member countries, whose national golf authorities must be EGA members for their players to be included in the rankings. The association is governed by an Annual General Meeting and an Executive Committee, supported by Championship, Handicapping & Course Rating, and Environmental Sustainability committees. It works with the R&A and the International Golf Federation on European aspects of rules, amateur status and handicapping.

Formed in 1937, the association also runs education through conferences and seminars for member federations, and collaborates with the R&A on golf course management and on setting up and supporting the World Handicap System.
