PLAY WELL. DO GOOD.
Give Back to the Game that Gave You So Much
The Outpost Foundation directly helps people working to make golf the greatest game for all of us.
Who Does Your Donation Help?
Your donation goes directly to people who share your love for the game and who want to start, maintain or accelerate their careers in golf.
You are helping the people you see — and sometimes those you don’t see — working hard to ensure your local and travel golf experiences are great ones.
People like…
The teenager working sunup to sundown at the bag drop, dreaming of attending college to pursue a career in golf…
The unforgettable caddie who guided you to the best round of your life…but who is struggling with his child’s medical bills…
Or the greenskeeper who lovingly cares for every inch of the golf course…
Your funds are also distributed to a small group of hand-picked organizations who have demonstrated a true impact on growing the game and increasing accessibility to it.

Meet Some of the People We’ve Helped
Kendall Jackson from Houston, Texas

Joshua Siplin from Orlando, Florida

Jackson Wredberg from Raleigh, North Carolina
Jack was a former intern at the Country Club of Virginia where he ran junior camps, taught lessons, and assisted with tournaments. The Outpost Foundation Scholarship helped him attend Campbell University where his is currently studying Professional Golf Management and pursuing a career as a PGA Teaching Professional.
“Because of receiving the Outpost Scholarship, I was able to serve on the Student Board for PGM. The extra funds enabled me to work a few less nights and allowed me time to serve on the Student Board as a Tournament Director for the semester. As a Type 1 diabetic, my medical costs are higher and this puts extra stress on my school bill each semester. The Outpost Scholarship allowed me to put more money onto my school bill. This eased a lot of stress and enabled me to focus on my school work even harder. My schooling and life has been much supported and enriched by the efforts and generosity of the Outpost Foundation.”
