True or False: Independent directors are members of the PGA of America.

Independent directors are not members of the PGA of America. The governance structure of the PGA has specific rules regarding membership and the qualifications needed to serve as a director. Independent directors are individuals who do not have prior membership in the organization and are chosen for their expertise and experience, often bringing an outside perspective to the board. This structure helps maintain objectivity and integrity in the decision-making processes of the PGA.

The other options involve conditions or possibilities that do not apply. For instance, the idea that independence could depend on geographic regions or selection processes misunderstands the foundational principle that independent directors are not PGA members by default, ensuring a separation of internal and external governance.
