U.S. Bank announced it is teaming up with PGA Tour golfer Collin Morikawa to support Youth on Course through a special birdie challenge. For each birdie made during the 2023 PGA Tour regular season and playoffs, U.S. Bank will donate funds to cover the cost of five memberships to Youth on Course.
“This is a fun way to team up with U.S. Bank and support the future of golf,” Morikawa said. “It all starts with access and if we can do our part to support these young people and get them on a golf course, that is a win. I’ll be working hard to rack up the birdie total this season in hopes that we can get even more young people interested in this great game.”
Youth on Course is a nonprofit based in California that provides its members access to rounds of golf for $5 or less at nearly 2,000 participating courses nationwide. The organization also helps young people through its caddie program, paid high school internships and college scholarships.
“We’re incredibly appreciative of U.S. Bank and their investments in the communities we serve,” said Adam Heieck, Youth on Course Chief Executive Officer. “Together, we can create access to new opportunities that wouldn’t otherwise have existed.”
U.S. Bank will work with Youth on Course to find youth who will benefit the most from these memberships.
“We are excited to continue teaming up with Collin Morikawa on making a difference in our communities,” said Chris Lee, Senior Vice President of Sponsorships for U.S. Bank. “This is certainly a unique opportunity to help more youth gain access to the game of golf in partnership with Youth on Course.”
