Since its founding in 1916, The PGA of America has maintained a twofold mission: to establish
and elevate the standards of the profession and to grow interest and participation in the
game of golf. By establishing and elevating the standards of the profession through world-
class education, career services, marketing and research programs, The PGA enables its
professionals to maximize their performance in their respective career paths and showcases
them as experts in the game and in the multi-billion dollar golf industry. By creating and
delivering world-class championships and innovative programs, The PGA of America elevates
the public’s interest in the game, the desire to play more golf, and ensures accessibility to the
game for everyone, everywhere.
The Northern Texas PGA is one of the 41 sections that comprise The PGA of America. The
Northern Texas PGA has a professional membership of more than 850. In addition to managing
the day-to-day affairs of the Section, the headquarters operates the Northern Texas PGA
Foundation, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. The Foundation provides The PGA golf
professional an opportunity to impact the game in a most important and lasting fashion. Active
involvement with junior golf is, indeed, an opportunity to promote and teach this game of a
lifetime to the youth of our communities.
The PGA has the responsibility to impact the traditions and history of golf to the future
caretakers of the game. The PGA of America, the Northern Texas PGA and its member golf
professionals are recognized as the leaders in the world of golf today.
Northern Texas PGA Foundation
Founded in 1983, the nationally acclaimed Northern Texas PGA Junior Golf Foundation, a 501
(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, was rebranded in 2019 as the Northern Texas PGA Foundation.
The Junior Golf Foundation was established to promote and grow the game of golf to a diverse
group of kids in North Texas and instill in them the positive, character developing traits for
which the game is so well known. Each year close to 10,000 children and their families were
impacted through the Junior Golf Foundation’s full circle of programs and services.
The Northern Texas PGA Foundation, which was rebranded in 2019, now reaches a greater
audience through four additional pillars including, college scholarships, fellowships, inclusion
and military and veterans.
Over the years, the mission of the Foundation has stayed the same - to positively impact lives
and communities through golf.
