You can make a difference by contributing to the PGA Medical and Disaster Relief Fund to help PGA of America Members affected by last month’s Southern California wildfires.
Beginning on Jan. 7, an ongoing series of wildfires wreaked havoc on the Los Angeles metropolitan area and surrounding regions. The fires – including the Palisades Fire, Eaton Fire, Hurst Fire and Sunset Fire – were exacerbated by very low humidity, dry conditions and hurricane-force Santa Ana winds.
The PGA Medical and Disaster Relief Fund supports PGA of America Members during natural disaster and serious medical emergencies.

The PGA of America has named Fred Vuich the fifth recipient of the PGA of America Lifetime Achievement Award in Photojournalism. Vuich and his noteworthy career will be celebrated in April during the 51st annual ISPS GWAA Dinner in Augusta, Georgia.
Since 2020, the PGA of America has awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award in Photojournalism to recognize the vital role that photography plays in documenting the rich history of golf, and to celebrate the individuals who have promoted the game at the highest level.
With a career spanning more than 40 years, Vuich has shot award-winning golf photography for the likes of the Associated Press, Golf Magazine and Sports Illustrated.
“Fred Vuich is firmly established as one of the greatest to ever photograph our game,” says PGA of America President Don Rea Jr.
Adds Vuich, who grew up in Midland, Pennsylvania, and attended Penn State University, “This is a chance to thank so many people who got me here, got me this award, especially my wife of 30 years, Sheryl. The award is just incredible.”
In addition to the PGA of America, PGA TOUR and USGA, Vuich’s portfolio also includes work with the Pittsburgh Penguins, NFL, MLB and NCAA.
