At Next Round Golf, we believe in the power of golf to transform lives. That’s why we have proudly supported First Tee’s mission to empower kids and teens through the game of golf for three years running. In 2023, we committed $100,000 to First Tee. After fulfilling this commitment, we immediately re-committed in 2024.

Supporting First Tee’s Life-Changing Mission 

First Tee is more than just a youth golf organization. It’s a movement that uses golf as a platform to teach vital life skills and build character. Through its innovative program, First Tee helps young people develop confidence, resilience, integrity, and respect. These skills extend far beyond the golf course, equipping kids to overcome challenges throughout their lives.

Thanks to you, Next Round is honored to contribute to this impactful mission. Our ongoing support helps First Tee reach more young people nationwide, creating meaningful learning experiences that shape the next generation.

Going Beyond National Support: Local Impact Through Chapters

In addition to our national donations, Next Round is actively working with individual First Tee chapters across the country. By donating thousands of dollars at the local level, we help bring golf and life skills programming directly into communities. This grassroots support ensures more kids have access to safe, structured environments where they can grow both as players and individuals.

Title Sponsorship at the First Tee Leadership Summit

Next Round was proud to be a title sponsor at the First Tee Leadership Summit held in Arizona in December 2024. This key event brings together leaders, volunteers, and supporters dedicated to expanding First Tee’s reach and impact. Our sponsorship underscores our commitment to youth development and the future of golf.

Donating Equipment: Hundreds of Kids Clubs and Bags Each Year

Supporting young golfers means more than financial donations. Each year, Next Round donates hundreds of gently used junior golf clubs and bags to First Tee chapters. By providing quality equipment, we help remove barriers to entry for kids who might otherwise struggle to afford the gear needed to play and improve.

Why Supporting First Tee Matters

Golf has the unique ability to teach patience, discipline, and perseverance. First Tee’s program builds on this by integrating essential life lessons with the sport, creating a holistic approach to youth development. By supporting First Tee, Next Round Golf helps ensure that more kids have the chance to benefit from these experiences — developing skills that will serve them on the course and in life.
