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. 

“PGA HOPE has been such a gift, and has made me want to get out and golf more, the benefits of getting out as a form of exercise, being out in nature, all while being on such beautiful courses, is so beneficial in many ways.”

-Matt Ryfiak

PGA HOPE Graduate, Pierson

“PGA HOPE gave me the opportunity to meet new people through fellowship of Veterans coming together to become better golfers, and people!”
