The move comes after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences also revoked his membership from the institution.
In the statement obtained by Deadline, PGA said all types of sexual harassment is "completely unacceptable".
"This morning, the PGA's National Board of Directors and Officers decided by unanimous vote to institute termination proceedings concerning Harvey Weinstein's membership.
"As required by the PGA's Constitution, Mr Weinstein will be given the opportunity to respond before the Guild makes its final determination on November 6, 2017. Sexual harassment of any type is completely unacceptable. This is a systemic and pervasive problem requiring immediate industry-wide action," the statement read.
