The Operation: Hero Challenge is an event created with a goal of raising money to support our PGA HOPE programs in Michigan and foster new locations as we continue expanding our effort of growing the game of golf and serving our Veteran population. Two PGA HOPE Graduates will team up to compete in a 2-man best ball scramble along with a skills competition during the round that features the three fundamental skills utilized in golf: driving, chipping, and putting. 

“The PGA Hope program has had a significant impact on my life. It has given me a new hobby to participate in, which is one that I can partake in for the rest of my life. Likewise, it's something that I can use to not only connect with the veteran community, but also with friends, family, and my professional life as well; ultimately maximizing the beneficence of the program.”

“PGA HOPE is an outstanding program that truly welcomed me to the sport of golf! Reducing barriers to entry, professional education, and anxiety free participation all promoted the optimal learning experience. Combined with Veteran camaraderie, PGA HOPE is why I am now an active golf player and avid advocate of the program for other Veterans.”
