The PGA REACH Carolinas Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and philanthropic arm of the Carolinas PGA Section, the largest of the 41 sections in the United States of America. Our 2,000 members across North and South Carolina are committed to serving our communities and growing the game of golf through our three pillars- Youth, Military, and Diversity & Inclusion.
Youth
PGA REACH Carolinas youth involves three main organizations, Drive Chip & Putt Championship, PGA Jr. League, and the Carolinas PGA Junior Tournaments. The Carolinas PGA Section offers two large tournaments through out the year, PGA Junior Championship and the Charles Tilghman Junior Championship. Drive, Chip and Putt is a free nationwide junior golf development competition aimed at growing the game by focusing on the three fundamental skills employed in golf. PGA Junior League is a fun, social, and inclusive opportunity for boys and girls, ages 13 & under, to enjoy the game of golf.
