TOUR Charities

The number of charities that receive benefits from PGA TOUR, Champions Tour and Nationwide Tour events is estimated at over 2,000 -- which in turn, touches millions of lives. By serving the needs of the community, our tournaments support an array of organizations, including:

• Education (schools, universities, scholarship programs)
• Health and Human Services (medical research, hospitals, elder care, food banks, shelters)
• Youth Development (after-school care, mentoring programs)
• Community Services (United Way, environmental protection, literacy, the arts)
• Growth of the Game of Golf

Dollars given on behalf of PGA TOUR, Champions Tour and Nationwide Tour events reach many national charitable organizations, including:

• Alzheimer's Foundation
• American Cancer Society
• Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America
• Boys & Girls Clubs of America
• Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts
• The First Tee
• Habitat for Humanity
• Junior Achievement
• Make-A-Wish Foundation
• Meals on Wheels
• MS Society
• Ronald McDonald Houses
• Salvation Army
• Special Olympics
• Susan G. Komen Foundation
• Teach for America
• YMCA

That's just to name a few. Research shows that the majority of the funds raised each year are directly funneled back into the local market, so while there is not an "official charity of the PGA TOUR," there are many who benefit from the TOUR's one goal of Giving Back.
