OUR STORY

At the Advocates Professional Golf Association (APGA), we believe that golf should reflect the rich diversity of the world we live in. That’s why our mission is to bring greater diversity to the game. Founded in 2010, we’re committed to providing opportunities, fostering talent, and creating an inclusive environment where underrepresented golfers can thrive. Our dedicated Board of Directors work to accomplish this by hosting and operating professional golf tournaments, player development programs, mentoring programs and by introducing the game to inner city young people.

We envision a future where golf achieves greatness through the incredible talent of underrepresented golfers. Our vision is to be the driving force behind this transformation, creating opportunities and inspiring individuals from diverse backgrounds to excel on and off the golf course.

what we do

High Quality Golf Tournaments

Our APGA Tour professional tournaments are designed to prepare our members for the highest level of the game. Our 2024 tournament schedule features 18 prestigious events held nationwide, collectively offering over $1,000,000 in prize and bonus money. These tournaments not only showcase top-tier talent but also unfold at renowned courses across the country, including iconic venues such as Torrey Pines, TPC Sawgrass, Pebble Beach, and The Concession Golf Club.

Elite Player Development Program

The APGA World Wide Technology Player Development Program is an all-encompassing initiative designed to nurture and elevate our top performers to greatness. Through this program, selected members not only receive top-tier coaching but also benefit from customized club fittings, fitness evaluations, mentorship opportunities, and more. Our focus lies in developing not just skilled golfers but also well-rounded individuals ready to achieve success both on and off the course.

Empower Youth Through Golf

Through impactful partnerships with inner-city youth organizations, we introduce boys and girls to the transformative world of golf, reaching over 3,000 young individuals through APGA Foundation clinics presented by Farmers Insurance. Our dedication extends to education, with over $100,000 in college scholarships distributed to shape the future of golf leaders. Collaborations with the Cameron Champ Foundation for the Cisco Junior Series and the PGA TOUR for the Bridgestone APGA Collegiate Rankings exemplify our proactive approach. We also engage with HBCU golf programs, providing technology resources and scholarships.
