We believe golf has the power to save lives.
PGA HOPE is on a mission unlike any other — to change and save Veterans’ and Active Duty Military Service Members’ lives through the power of golf.
Serving Those Who Served
At the heart of PGA HOPE, we have a simple vision – to create a meaningful community and a lasting sense of belonging for those who have bravely served our nation. Through the power of golf and PGA HOPE, Veterans find continued connections, build confidence and rediscover a sense of purpose both on and beyond the course.
Veterans and Active Service Members who graduate from PGA HOPE represent every branch, generation and experience. Through a Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans can receive direct referrals to PGA HOPE as a therapeutic resource.

Graduate
We end every PGA HOPE session with a Graduation. A time where we get to recognize and celebrate our nation’s heroes for choosing to go on this journey together with us.
Step 3
Join A Community
The best part about PGA HOPE is the journey doesn’t end after Graduation. In fact, the journey is only beginning – PGA HOPE is creating community that lasts a lifetime.
Our Impact
As more PGA of America Golf Professionals become adaptively trained, we can continue to build a foundation for sustainable growth and work to expand program access.
