PGA Tour pledges $500,000 donation to HBCUs
PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan promised in September that the circuit would be “part of the solution” as the nation continues to fight against racial equality and social injustice.
“In essence, how do we use the platform that we've established over the past 80 years to make deeper and more specific commitments around social justice efforts in our communities,” Monahan said at the Tour Championship.
At least part of that response will be a $500,000 donation to five Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), including a $100,000 donation to Prairie View A&M’s men’s and women’s golf teams.
