To entertain, inspire and connect fans and partners through premier golf competitions and related initiatives, while driving growth of the game and community impact.
A $100 million racial equity and inclusion commitment set the tone for Pga Tour Inc’s grantmaking, and the commitment had been surpassed by 2023. That program sits alongside charitable support tied to youth development, education, health and wellness, community development, military and veteran support, and golf-related initiatives. The foundation’s filings also show a clear preference for flexible support: many of its recent awards are labeled general support, including a $7,302,852 grant to Pga Tour First Tee Foundation Inc and a $6,201,000 grant to CF Foundation Inc. Another large award, $6,198,531, went to World Golf Foundation Inc. These grants suggest a funder that works through established nonprofit partners rather than individual giving, with resources flowing to organizations that can advance the Tour’s community-impact and sport-development priorities. The recent grant list also includes regional golf and youth organizations, as well as health-related charities, indicating a mix of golf ecosystem support and broader nonprofit investment connected to the Tour’s public priorities.
Pga Tour Inc supports several connected cause areas. In youth development, it gave $2,993,974 to Youth Programs Inc dba Fedex St Jude Classic in 2025 and $787,978 to Palm Beach Gardens Youth Athletic Association Inc for general support. Education appears in awards such as $990,000 to Champions for Education Inc and $575,000 to Foundation for the Carolinas. Health and wellness is reflected in grants like $530,000 to Shriners Hospitals for Children and $500,000 to The Nemours Foundation dba Nemours Children's Hosp. Community development also shows up through $631,322 to The Banner Lake Club Inc. Across these grants, the pattern is support for nonprofit organizations that can use flexible funding for ongoing work rather than narrow project-only awards.
Typical grant size sits at $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $25,000 at the median, and $59,304 at the 75th percentile. The recent list also shows several much larger general-support awards, so the distribution is wide. Awards recur to some recipients across multiple years: CF Foundation Inc appears in both 2024 and 2025, and World Golf Foundation Inc appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The funder is a regular funder, not a donor-advised fund, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Public materials for the active programs also indicate that at least some initiatives do not accept unsolicited applications.

Grantmaking is regional and concentrated in the United States. Florida receives 34% of grants, but the recent list also shows repeated awards in Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, Louisiana, Tennessee, California, and Ohio. Among recipient cities, Atlanta appears multiple times, as do Ponte Vedra Beach, Memphis, Dallas, Charlotte, Jacksonville, and Akron. The recipient-country distribution is entirely U.S.-based, with 913 grants in the United States and none recorded outside it.
The middle of the distribution is $25,000, with the 25th percentile at $10,000 and the 75th percentile at $59,304. Recent awards also include multi-million-dollar general-support grants, so the funder makes both smaller and very large commitments.
It funds nonprofit organizations. Recent grantmaking includes golf-related foundations, youth programs, education groups, health charities, and community organizations, often with general support language rather than project-specific restrictions.
The recipient-country distribution is entirely U.S.-based: 913 grants in the United States and no grants recorded in other countries. Its active programs describe a broader geographic scope in some cases, but the recent grant record shown here is domestic.
The recent grants table is dominated by general support, and the organization’s philosophy tags include unrestricted core operating support, general operating support, flexible non-project-specific funding, and organization sustainability. That points to broad operating support as a common approach.
At least some of its active programs do not. The Bridgestone Collegiate Development Program and Sustainability Initiatives & Tournament Sustainability Support both list “Accepts unsolicited: False.”
