We Believe in Golf
Established in 1978 as PGA Foundation, Inc. – the charitable arm of the PGA of America – the mission and vision was simply to impact lives through golf. Now as the PGA of America REACH Foundation, our mission remains the same as we aim to deepen community involvement through our programs and extend golf’s reach. The Foundation proactively introduces new groups to the sport we love. As we increase access and create invitation, more are challenging themselves, enjoying the outdoors, making friends, living healthier lives and discovering the pure joy of golf.
PGA Jr. League
The PGA Jr. League Scholarship Fund and Opportunity Leagues are removing barriers and opening doors for families to create new memories through the game of golf. We envision a world where golf is accessible for every child, everywhere, regardless of their background or circumstance. PGA Jr. League is committed to enriching lives through experiences that transcend golf.
