PRO tag refers to https://github.com/pro
GitHub today (07.01.2019) announced that it is changing the name of the GitHub Developer suite to GitHub Pro. The company says it’s doing so in order to "help developers better identify the tools they need".
In other words, all Pro users have that PRO tag.
Honorable mention: Historically GitHub always offered free accounts but the caveat was that your code had to be public. To get private repositories, you had to pay. Starting tomorrow, that limitation is gone. Free GitHub users now get unlimited private projects with up to three collaborators. The amount of collaborators is really the only limitation here and there’s no change to how the service handles public repositories, which can still have unlimited collaborators.
Some say, this may or may not be the result of Microsoft's closed acquisition of GitHub last October, with former Xamarin CEO Nat Friedman taking over as the CEO of GitHub. Some developers were rather nervous about the acquisition (though it feels like most have come to terms with it). It’s also a fair guess to assume that GitHub’s model for monetizing the service is a bit different from Microsoft’s. Microsoft doesn’t need to try to get money from small teams - that’s not where the bulk of its revenue comes from. Instead, the company is mostly interested in getting large enterprises to use the service.

GitHub Developer is now called GitHub Pro. It includes everything in GitHub Free, unlimited collaborators for private repositories, and advanced code review tools for private and public repositories.
If you got the Github Education pack (student developer pack) then it means you're also a GitHub Pro user.
GitHub free now gives you unlimited private repositories up to three collaborators per repository.

Either you have paid for the pro plan to GitHub or you have verified institutional email address, both can have this PRO label on their profile page.

That because of Github changing the name of the GitHub Developer suite to GitHub Pro.
"PRO" badge will appear when you got a paid GitHub plan or if you sign up for the student developer pack.
