Two initiatives.
One connected pathway.
The GOLF Foundation connects early access to golf with the education, relationships and support that help players advance. Our initiatives put that purpose into practice, from a child’s first introduction in Memphis to women pursuing professional golf.
Memphis Golf
Initiative.
Memphis children deserve an earlier start and a pathway that keeps going.
Memphis is the Foundation’s first HUB. We introduce, develop and advance young people in urban communities through golf, connecting early experiences with recurring instruction, mentorship, leadership and college and HBCU opportunities.
Our partnership network brings together the City of Memphis, Shelby County Government, Memphis Parks and Memphis-Shelby County Schools, alongside LeMoyne-Owen College, the University of Memphis and the local golf community. Together, we bring the game closer to children and connect families with opportunities on and off the course.

Sapphire
Golf Tour.
A professional stage for Black and Latina women. A future the next generation can see.
Sapphire creates professional competition and development opportunities for women pursuing the next level of golf. It connects the work of becoming a stronger player with the visibility, relationships and support needed to keep advancing.
As the Tour’s partner charitable arm, The GOLF Foundation supports that pathway through player development and the Sapphire Golf Tour CORE Fund: Competition. Opportunity. Resources. Equity. The fund supports 2027 season operations, grows financial opportunity for players and advances pay equity.
