The Professional Golfers Association of America cannot be held liable for injuries sustained by a 5-year-old girl who was attending a summer golf camp where one of its member pros was an instructor, a New Jersey appeals court ruled on Wednesday.
A two-judge Appellate Division panel, in an unpublished decision, agreed with a trial judge that there was no credible evidence to conclude that the PGA, which has more than 29,000 members who classify themselves as golf pros, had any involvement in the incident that caused the young girl's injuries.
