PGA HOPE introduces golf to Veterans and Active-Duty Military to enhance their physical, mental, social and emotional well-being. In 2024, more than 17,000 Veterans were served, with the help of more than 550 programs located in all 50 states. More than 50,000 Veterans have been impacted by PGA HOPE since the inception of the program in 2015.

Led by PGA of America Golf Professionals trained in adaptive golf and military cultural competency, PGA HOPE is introducing and teaching golf through a six- to eight-week curriculum while creating a path forward for thousands of Veterans and active-duty service members to learn and enjoy the game. 

PGA HOPE has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which enables direct referrals to the PGA HOPE program as a form of therapy, and is proud to serve communities in all 50 States.

The launch of TRUE’s limited-edition Patriot Pack allows the footwear and apparel brand to use its reach and platform to help amplify the impact of PGA HOPE .

“The work PGA HOPE does in communities all across the country is inspiring and vital and one of the truly impactful ways that the PGA of America is using golf to enrich and empower our military heroes,” said TRUE Vice President of Sales Adam Minnich. “It’s an honor for TRUE to play a small role in shining some light on the thriving community that has been brought together by this important initiative.”

The TRUE linkswear Patriot Pack features three TRUE’s latest golf shoe models: the Lux²Player, All Day Ripstop V2, and FS Slide. The Lux² Player features a predominantly white upper with navy accents around the heel and collar, complemented by red details on the laces. 

The Ripstop V2 has navy detailing around the laces, heel, and toe box accented with an anchoring red tread underfoot. The FS Slide is a bold Claret Red. Each shoe features a soaring eagle logo on the insole.

“It’s an honor to collaborate with TRUE linkswear to further amplify PGA HOPE’s mission to change Veterans’ and Active Duty Military Service Members’ lives through the power of golf,” said Marine Corps Veteran and PGA HOPE Military & Veteran Liaison Chris Nowak.
