About the Illinois PGA Foundation

The Illinois PGA Foundation is a 501 (c) 3 organization and is the charitable arm of the Illinois Section PGA, one of the forty-one geographical areas that comprise the Professional Golfers Association of America (PGA of America).  Established in 1991 with a vision of teaching the values and lessons of the game to young people, Illinois PGA Professionals serve as role models and mentors for youth in local communities whose lives have often been far removed from such lessons. Through Foundation programming children are encouraged to strive for excellence on and off the golf course through golf instruction, mentoring activities, summer job placement and scholarship opportunities.

Linking golf's promising future to its distinguished past, the Illinois PGA Foundation also proudly administers the Illinois Golf Hall of Fame. The Illinois Golf Hall of Fame recognizes and honors the achievements of the inspirational figures that have contributed to the rich history of the game in the prairie state. The Glen Club in Glenview, Illinois has served as the home of the Hall of Fame exhibit since 2001.

Through these Foundation efforts the Illinois PGA stands out as one of the most active and community-minded PGA Sections in the country.
