The First Tee is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Since 1997, it has grown from a collaboration among major golf organizations—the LPGA, Masters Tournament, PGA of America, PGA TOUR, and USGA—into a nationwide program network delivered through local chapters, schools, and community partners. The organization blends the game of golf with a life-skills curriculum to help young people develop inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience as they face new challenges, with programming designed to be safe, welcoming, and impactful. Its target audience includes young people from diverse backgrounds, and it operates within the nonprofit sector as an educational youth-development organization that uses sport to support personal growth. In October 2025, First Tee launched a video series spotlighting the coaches, illustrating the important role of program staff in delivering its approach.
