About PGA TOUR CHARITIES INC

PGA TOUR Charities, Inc. is the PGA TOUR’s 501(c)(3) philanthropic arm headquartered in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. The organization channels charitable giving generated by PGA TOUR events, players, partners and fans to community programs and vetted nonprofit partners. PGA TOUR Charities supports national initiatives and local tournament giving across themes such as youth, well-being, service and access and opportunity; signature programs and campaign vehicles include the Birdies for the Brave initiative and tournament-directed grantmaking. In recent years the charity has expanded program scope (including a 2024 expansion of Birdies for the Brave to include first responder support) and announced a major private gift in 2026 to accelerate a reimagined, more visible philanthropic platform.
