Question

Who manages and updates the rules of golf in the United States, its territories, and Mexico?

Answer 1

The Rules of Golf is published by the USGA (United States Golf Association) in association with the R & A of St. Andrews (Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews-Europe's governing body).  Each year the two combine to make alterations to the current rules of golf and publish a new book.  

A must have book for every golfer.

Answer 2

The two world organizations which manage and update the rules of golf are the USGA( United States Golf Assn) and the Royal and Ancient Golf Association( R & A ). The USGA manages the rules which apply  to the countries in the Western Hemisphere while the rules for the rest of the world are overseen by those of the R&A. The organizations  have rules committees which meet every two years at which time they make changes, define the objectives and clarify. Today, the rules of golf throughout the world are pretty much the same as a result of the meetings.

Answer 3

In the USA I suppose either the USGA Or the PGA regulates the rules of golf. In Mexico they probably depends on the USGA Or the PGA.
