PARTNERS
Southwest PGA Foundation Partners with the American Heroes Foundation
The circle is complete with 3 levels of programming for Veterans across the Southwest PGA!
Scottsdale, Arizona (September 1, 2025) - The NEXT step in the Veteran experience has just been announced in a partnership between the Southwest PGA Foundation and the American Heroes Foundation. A 501(c)(3) organization, American Heroes Foundation is a Phoenix, Arizona based group of military veterans and first responders.
American Heroes Foundation operates the American Heroes Golf Tour, which will serve as an amazing next step for those who have completed the PGA HOPE program. Learning the fundamentals of the game is key, extending that knowledge into the Op36 Wingman Program is essential to the extension of that learning, and to now have the competitive part of the game available to our Veterans is a HOME RUN!
American Heroes is doing more than just conducting a series of veteran and first responder events. They’re truly saving lives with their Mission, Vision, and Why for the organization. This partnership means more than just a place to play, it means a community to grow with, and thrive under. Their schedule of events is growing and the facilities who are supporting them is expanding too. Visit https://www.americanheroesgolf.net/schedule for a list of events, and updated schedules for the 2025-2026 season.
​
The meaning of this partnership extends beyond the golf course, it sets the stage for a relationship long into the future. Each organization has an overarching purpose of enhancing the lives of our veterans. Each will collaborate on fundraising, and community events as part of its Pillars of Hope.
We look at the “Pillars of Hope” as a platform for growth and awareness of our Veteran population and their families. The individual service member is one part of that picture, but to understand how the families of Veterans plays a part in the therapeutic process is a whole other dimension. This partnership has come at the right time and right place for all of us, says Michael Haywood, CEO/Executive Director of the Southwest PGA Foundation.
In June, American Heroes didn’t hold back. They came out of the gate with an immediate contribution to the Southwest PGA Foundation and PGA HOPE programming. This contribution enables the Foundation to target new programming in an ever changing landscape of support.
