The core purpose of the Kentucky Golf Foundation is to positively impact Kentucky youth through golf.  As part of this core purpose we provide youth with financial assistance in the forms of grants and scholarships.  In partnership with Justin Thomas, the family/friends of Gay Brewer, Jr. and the Women's Kentucky Golf Association, here are the current opportunities available to youth.

Gay Brewer, Jr. Grant

The Gay Brewer, Jr. Grant offers financial assistance to junior golfers in Kentucky to help them compete in junior golf competitions at regional and national levels who are limited in their ability to do so due to financial constraints.

This grant enables them to play a more robust national junior schedule to help them gain more exposure and earn a college golf scholarship.
