PROCEEDS BENEFIT:

Tiger Woods Foundation
Where you come from shouldn't mean failure. At the Tiger Woods Foundation, it doesn't. Our programs break the cycle of poverty with college-access opportunities for low-income students. The Tiger Woods Foundation expanded its first Tiger Woods Learning Center campus to Philadelphia in 2012 as a partnership with the KIPP DuBois Collegiate Academy offering its STEM-based, college-access programs. In 2013 through a partnership with USLI, the TWLC opened at Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School providing students with unique programing in robotics, engineering and universal science. At these learning centers, students make the connection between school and career, while planning a road map to college. Tailored to the needs of the first-generation scholar, the Earl Woods Scholarship Program provides four-year college scholarships coupled with an unyielding support system. But we don't stop there. Through dedicated mentors, professional development workshops and internships, our one-to-one philosophy ensures the success of our students in college and beyond. See how our scholars are smashing the cycle of poverty at tigerwoodsfoundation.org and @TWFoundation.

Kids on the Hill
Kids on the Hill introduces the game of golf and the life values that it teaches, to kids participating in the Philadelphia Police Athletic League (PAL) organization. The program's purpose is to foster character, sportsmanship and scholarship in inner-city children by educating them to the history, play, etiquette and skills of golf.
 

Golf Association of Philadelphia
The J. Wood Platt Caddie Scholarship Trust was created in 1958 by the Golf Association of Philadelphia. The Scholarship’s mission, which has remained constant since its inception, is to financially aid deserving caddies in their pursuit of higher education. In the last 55 years, more than 3,300 young men and women have received almost $16 million in aid. In the 2013-14 academic year, 158 caddies are receiving more than $920,000. Award amounts range from $500 to $10,000 per academic year for undergraduates, and up to $7,500 a year for graduate students. The Scholarship is also helping to preserve one of the game’s most valued traditions, the caddie. By supporting caddies in their traditional educational pursuits, the Scholarship is also reminding golfers of the important role the caddie has played in the game’s history. In turn, this role is preserved for the game’s future.
