United Golfers Association (UGA) [Founded in 1925] is a non-profit organization that is committed to increasing the introduction, development and advancement of African American youth being introduced to the sport of golf. The UGA Developmental Golf Academy will provide these golfers with the resources and direction to cultivate their passion for the sport as competitors and professionals in the industry. The UGA Golf Academy is designed to prepare them mentally, physically and professionally to compete as Future Tour Players and Golf Professionals throughout the world. 

One of our primary goals of the organization is to raise money to support current tour professionals in their efforts to compete at the highest level. This will be done by raising a significant amount of money to provide them with the best training facilities, coaching staff and support team available to assure their success as well as subsidizing their expenses on their “Path to the Tour.”

United Golfers Association (UGA) was founded in 1925 by and for Black Golfers as a parallel institution to the all-white Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) that formed nine years earlier in 1916. Along with many other activities, the UGA operated a national golf tour for professionals, amateurs, and intercollegiate golfers, and it continued to host events well after the desegregation of the PGA in 1961.
