The PGA TOUR is heads and tails above all other major sports when it comes to giving back. Charity: It is the way to people’s hearts. It is the way to people’s smiles. Giving back is the way of the PGA TOUR.

The TOUR, its players, tournaments, volunteers and sponsors are united in making an indelible mark in each community they visit, leaving it better off than before they came. The PGA TOUR has generated more than 1 Billion in charitable giving since the first donation was made in 1938. It is a commitment unparalleled in professional sports.

Being owned and operated by the PGA TOUR, each TPC Club activates that same charitable mission at various local and national levels all throughout the year.

At a national level, TPC Tampa Bay participates in the America Supports You campaign. Each year, TPC Tampa Bay hosts a fundraising event for the men and women in our armed forces. Funds raised by this event are dispersed equally to five beneficiaries: Homes for Our Troops, Special Operations Warrior Foundation, Naval Special Warfare Foundation, Wounded Warriors Project and the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.

In addition, TPC Tampa Bay is the host site of the Champions Tour’s annual Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am. By utilizing our rent free venue, the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am and past sponsor, Verizon, have generated over 7 million dollars since its inception. This money goes directly back to community beneficiaries such as A Blooming Place for Kids, Derrick Brooks Charities, LifePath Hospice & Palliative Care, Tampa General Hospital Foundation and The Children’s Home.

Giving Back. The Heart of the PGA TOUR.
