The PGA of America limits AI sprawl with a streamlined identity architecture
Identity security becomes more important when AI agents start acting across enterprise systems. That challenge can be especially acute for smaller technology teams that cannot dedicate large teams to infrastructure, security and identity management.

AI agents' ability to act across enterprise systems has heightened the importance of identity security. Smaller technology teams often struggle with managing infrastructure, security, and identity management. The Professional Golfers’ Association of America (PGA of America) has streamlined its identity security approach by relying heavily on Okta and Auth0, allowing its developers to focus on technology that directly supports members and customers.
PGA of America CTO Kevin Scott explained that the organization has reduced complexity and does not have a large team, emphasizing that if too much budget were spent on administering systems, customers would not appreciate it. The PGA of America has removed infrastructure layers like data centers, VPNs, Active Directory, and traditional corporate networks to minimize fragmented identity controls.
By simplifying systems and centralizing AI platform usage, the PGA of America limits potential gaps across different user populations and ensures that AI agents are directed through a common platform with robust identity controls. This approach has required collaboration between finance, human resources, legal, and technology teams on governance and business processes.
