SOUTH FLORIDA PGA FOUNDATION

PGA of America Professionals dedicated to serving the south Florida community and changing lives through golf.

About the SFPGA Foundation

Giving back, changing lives, and growing the game – that is the mission of the South Florida PGA Foundation, the charitable arm of the South Florida PGA. For nearly 20 years, this mission has been carried out by enhancing the lives of youth, families and military, on and off the golf course.


What began as a vision by PGA Professionals Tom Wildenhaus (Director of Golf/General Manager at Olde Florida Golf Club) and Kevin Murphy (Director of Golf/General Manager at McArthur Golf Club), the SFPGA Foundation has impacted over 13,500 individuals through the game of golf with over $740,000 annually spent on programming.
