The PGA of America REACH Foundation, the 501(c)(3) charitable foundation of the Association, has awarded scholarships for the 2025–26 academic school year to 15 students at nine colleges through the PGA WORKS John & Tamara Lundgren Scholars Program. With the generous support of the Lundgrens, the $8,000 scholarships were presented to talented and motivated students who are working toward PGA of America Membership through one of the 16 accredited PGA Golf Management University Programs across the nation.
Scholarship recipients must be pursuing bachelor’s degrees in a golf-industry-compatible major, with the ultimate goal of obtaining PGA of America Membership. Since its inception in 2018, a total of 108 PGA WORKS Golf Management University scholarships have been awarded, totaling $864,000.
“We are immensely grateful for our partnership with the Lundgrens and the ongoing success of the PGA WORKS John & Tamara Lundgren Scholars Program,” says PGA of America President Don Rea Jr. “These scholarships not only support the academic and career aspirations of talented students, but also strengthen the future of our game and Association. By investing in these future PGA of America Members, we are investing in the future of golf – ensuring it thrives and evolves.”
Scholarship recipients were selected based on academic record, leadership demonstrated through participation in school and community activities, honors and work experience, a statement of goals and aspirations, unique personal or family circumstances, an outside appraisal, active participation in the game of golf and playing ability.
