The 2025 LPGA Foundation Grads to Golf program, supported by @JohnDeere, has successfully introduced students from NC State to the game of golf. The program not only taught the fundamentals of golf but also helped participants build valuable connections and gain skills that will support their future professional careers.
Building the Next Generation of Golfers
The Grads to Golf initiative is designed to provide college students with an immersive experience in golf, combining education with practical play. This year’s cohort from North Carolina State University benefited from expert coaching and hands-on learning, which emphasized both technique and sportsmanship.
Partnerships Driving Growth
Thanks to the support from John Deere, the program has been able to expand its reach and impact. Their partnership underscores the importance of collaboration between industry leaders and sports organizations to foster talent development.
Looking Ahead: Professional Careers in Golf
Participants in the program leave with more than just golf skills. They gain connections and tools essential for navigating the professional golf world. This foundation aims to prepare them for potential careers on tours such as the LPGA Tour or other professional circuits.
With initiatives like Grads to Golf, the future of women’s golf looks promising as new talent is nurtured and supported through structured programs and strong partnerships.
