giving back to the community

The PGA TOUR prides itself on giving back to the communities in which its events are held. The Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing & Finance has continued this tradition through Golf Gives Back, Inc.

Golf Gives Back, Inc., a 501c3, 17-member Board of Directors oversees the sales, operations and charitable giving aspects of the Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing & Finance.

The mission of the Golf Gives Back board is to make the Korn Ferry Championship a world class “must attend” entertainment experience for spectators, volunteers and tour players generating substantial charitable and economic impact(s) for our Regional community and promoting positive brand awareness for the Region.
