What is PGA Golf Day?
PGA Golf Day was established by Southwest Section PGA Professionals back in 2010 with a goal to raise money for selected local charities and to highlight the value of the PGA Professional in local communities.
That year, 25 pros played a 100-hole marathon and raised over $140,000 for their local junior golf and philanthropic initiatives. Word spread virally across the country…
This program has raised over $3 Million for local golf-related charities.
Today, this program and this website serve to facilitate the efforts of PGA Sections, Golf Associations, and ambitious individual PGA Professionals across the country in raising much-needed funds for their local causes.

Why does it work so well?
The concept of the website itself is to automate the fundraising process and to expand the collective reach of your fundraising efforts.
The idea of chasing checks and cash is outdated and cumbersome for both fundraisers and donors.
All you need to do is figure out what kind of event you want to run – golf marathon, walk-a-thon, a hike, golf course divot filling party…whatever.
Recruit as many participants as possible. People register themselves online, and send emails to their contacts for contributions. Donations flow directly to your bank account immediately…with everything recorded, thank-letters sent, and nothing more to worry about…except where to spend your money!
