The First Tee is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that was created in 1997. Its mission is to impact the lives of young people by providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices through the game of golf.
What started as a concept to make the game of golf and its inherent values more accessible to young people has developed into an international nonprofit organization that gives young people of all backgrounds the opportunity to develop, through golf and character education, life-enhancing values such as honesty, integrity and respect.
