As the PGA TOUR season approaches, PGA HOPE North Florida will participate in several key activations designed to engage new Veterans who may be interested in the program, while also creating meaningful engagement opportunities for our PGA HOPE graduates.
On Sunday, March 8th, the North Florida PGA has been invited to once again participate in the Patriots Outpost at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard at Bay Hill. Our team will be inside the Patriots Outpost to connect with Veterans interested in learning the game of golf or further developing their skills through PGA HOPE. This is a terrific opportunity to promote the positive effects that PGA HOPE can create in the lives of Veterans!
Additionally, we have been invited by PGA TOUR Superstore to select 10 PGA HOPE North Florida graduates to attend THE PLAYERS at TPC Sawgrass on Sunday, March 15th. These participants will have access to PGA TOUR Superstore’s private hospitality tent located off the 16th green. This activation provides an excellent opportunity to reengage our graduates while strengthening our relationship with a valued national sponsor.
In April, PGA HOPE North Florida will host an informational table in the Fan Zone at the LECOM Suncoast Classic at Lakewood National Golf Club, offering another opportunity to connect directly with Veterans and share details about the program.
Finally, PGA HOPE graduates will have a significant presence at the 2026 Senior PGA Championship at The Concessions Golf Club. We will feature a dedicated PGA HOPE Marshalled hole each day, along with five PGA HOPE standard bearers displayed throughout the championship grounds.
These activations reflect our continued commitment to expanding awareness, deepening Veteran engagement, and strengthening the PGA HOPE community across North Florida.
