The Northern Texas PGA Foundation is the
charitable partner of the Tanos Exploration II / Patterson-UTI Drilling Texas
State Open, and proceeds from the Championship will benefit the organization. Founded
in 1983, the nationally acclaimed Northern Texas PGA Junior Golf Foundation, a
501 (c)(3) tax-exempt organization, was rebranded in 2019 as the Northern Texas
PGA Foundation. The Junior Golf Foundation was established to promote and
grow the game of golf to a diverse group of kids in North Texas and instill in
them the positive character developing traits for which the game is so well
known. Each year close to 10,000 children and their families were impacted
through the Junior Golf Foundation’s full circle of programs and
services.
The Northern Texas PGA Foundation now reaches a greater audience through four additional pillars including, college scholarships, fellowships, inclusion and military and veterans. Over the years, the mission of the Foundation has stayed the same - to positively impact lives and communities through golf.
