PGA HOPE

PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) is the flagship military program of PGA REACH, the charitable foundation of the PGA of America. PGA HOPE introduces golf to Veterans and Active Duty Military to enhance their physical, mental, social, and emotional well-being.

The program introduces the game of golf through a developmental 6-8 week curriculum led by PGA Professionals trained in adaptive golf and military cultural competency. All programs are funded by PGA REACH and supplemented by PGA Section Foundations, so the cost of programming is free to all Veterans.

PGA HOPE has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which enables direct referrals to the PGA HOPE program as a form of therapy.

You can support our mission by giving to PGA HOPE via the PGA REACH FOUNDATION TRI-STATE Link below.

PGA HOPE National Golf & Wellness Week
October 8 – 13, 2025
Congressional Country Club

A Week Unlike Any Other
Every year in October, PGA HOPE National Golf & Wellness Week invites twenty PGA HOPE graduates who have been nominated by their home Section to an immersive five-day event that includes golf instruction from PGA of America Golf Professionals and wellness training from the Cohen Veterans Network — covering topics from social media, public speaking, stress management, mental health, and more. Hosted by Congressional Country Club in Washington, D.C., the Veterans are equipped with a toolkit so they can return to their home PGA Sections as PGA HOPE Ambassadors to work with other Veterans in their communities and foster the game of golf.
