Sapphire Golf Tour

The Sapphire Golf Tour creates a bridge toward the Epson and LPGA Tours for Black and Latina women through professional competition, visibility, and player, personal, and professional development.

The 2027 Bluff City Women’s Open brings that stage to Memphis, connecting professional women’s golf with community, culture, clinics, and opportunities to meet the players and be part of their journey.

The GOLF Foundation

The GOLF Foundation creates pathways through golf that empower youth and support players at every level, from a first swing to college and HBCU opportunities to professional player support.

Four pillars guide the work:

Representation

Seeing people who look like you playing, competing, and leading in golf can change what you believe is possible. For young people who have never pictured themselves on a course, meeting a professional, a college golfer, or a mentor with a shared background can turn an unfamiliar sport into a place where they belong. We want that connection to build confidence, spark ambition, and help young people see themselves as the next players, leaders, and changemakers in the game and beyond.

Access

Equipment, instruction, welcoming spaces, and mentors open doors that a young person’s ZIP code should never close.

Opportunity

Golf builds confidence, relationships, and pathways to education, college, careers, and life beyond the course.

Generational Legacy

What begins with one player can create knowledge, connections, and possibilities that families carry forward.

Golf is the vehicle. The lasting impact is in the lives and futures it helps shape.

Memphis Golf Initiative

A transformational golf partnership and initiative serving Memphis and Shelby County, with a vision to introduce thousands of young people to the sport and the possibilities it creates.

We’ll bring kids to the game and bring the game to them, through schools, community spaces, pop-up swing centers, and experiences on the course. Equipment, instruction, mentors, and community partners can help turn a first introduction into a lasting pathway.

Together, we can change the environments young people experience, shift their view of what’s possible, expand their opportunities, and help shape their potential futures through college and beyond.
