Leave a gift in your Will to ensure that golf will always matter

 

Golf Matters.

It matters to everyone here at The R&A and millions of golfers around the world. And our goal is to ensure that it will always matter. The R&A Foundation exists to help us ensure that golf is thriving 50 years from now and beyond.  We use the funds we raise to:
  • welcome players from all backgrounds and abilities
  • ensure that more people benefit from the life-long health and social benefits that golf provides
  • support the vital work of our sustainable golf team
  • protect, preserve and share golf’s history
  • build pathways for talented players, greenkeepers and future industry leaders
Our work is based on the foundations that have been put in place by those that have loved golf before us. It is their legacies that inspire us and guide us as we seek to bring the joy of golf to as many people as possible.  It is their legacies that ensure the game evolves and thrives while remaining true to the values and ideas that have been passed down to us.
"Through this initiative we can foster a distinguished community of young leaders who will achieve new heights for the sport.”

“It’s really awesome. The financial support is a big weight off my shoulders and I’ve been connected with my mentor through The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, who is fantastic. Then the trip to St Andrews is on the bucket list for anybody involved in the industry.”
