The PGA Tour card can be used for one of these IDs, and commonly is along with the players' drivers' license or passport.

You can't buy a professional golf card, you have to earn it by placing successfully well in golf programs just below the PGA Tour. If you are already a PGA golfer, then you keep your card by making sure you're placing well enough year round.
