MONTEREY, California and CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Youth on Course and Bank of America, one of the world’s leading financial institutions, have announced a multi-year, strategic partnership to accelerate youth access to golf and the life-changing opportunities it provides.
The partnership will target expansion of golf access across the country for young players who are challenged to find an affordable place to play.
“Today is a great day for youth golf, as we partner with one of the world’s most respected brands to elevate opportunities for young people across America to access this sport,” said Youth on Course CEO Adam Heieck. “This relationship immediately grows our footprint and will allow us to invest in new communities across the country, ultimately serving more youth both on and off the course.”
As part of the joint effort, Youth on Course will seek to add municipal golf courses to the Youth on Course network, ensuring golf is available to more youth in more communities than ever before. Bank of America’s support of golf is longstanding and worldwide.
The bank recently was announced as a Champion Partner of the Masters Tournament.
The company has also partnered with the Augusta National Women’s Amateur since 2019, and the Latin America Amateur Championship and Asia-Pacific Amateur Championships since 2022.
“Through golf, young people have the chance to be active, develop skills to achieve personal goals, and socialize with others, all of which can set them up for success in life,” said David Tyrie, Chief Digital Officer and Chief Marketing Officer, Bank of America. “By helping to increase access to and interest in golf, we’re helping the sport continue to grow and making positive impact in our communities.”
