Pga Tour First Tee Foundation

First Tee curriculum seamlessly integrates life skills with golf skills to build positive social, emotional and character traits in young people, which is learned through the golf context and translated to everyday life, including school. Coaches, teachers and youth leaders receive multi-year training and leadership development to deliver the curriculum, which takes place on golf courses, in schools and through after-school partner locations. In addition, the First Tee offers educational opportunities and professional development for chapter staff, volunteer board leaders and teachers. First Tee also hosts national event opportunities for selected chapter youth participants to enhance their leadership, understanding of diversity, equity and inclusion, and life skills.
