About the TGA Foundation

The Texas Golf Association Foundation, the charitable arm of the TGA, is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that was established to make certain that golf in Texas continues to grow and prosper. The TGA Foundation’s vision is to see more Texans from all walks and stages of life play and enjoy all the good that golf has to offer. Golf is good for connecting people. Good for building character. Good for building bridges between generations. Good for the mind and body. Because we believe golf is a positive force for enriching lives, the TGA Foundation invests in programs that open doors to this unique game and its lifelong benefits.
