What is PGA HOPE?

PGA HOPE Mission Snapshot

PGA HOPE is a program under the PGA REACH Colorado Foundation and has a mission unlike any other -- to change and save Veterans' and active-duty military Service Members' lives through the power of golf. PGA HOPE introduces and teaches golf to Veterans and Active Duty Military to enhance their physical, mental, social and emotional well-being. Led by PGA of America Golf Professionals Certified in HOPE, the program is inclusive of a developmental 6 week curriculum. All programs are provided at no cost to all participating 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.
