About the APGA TOUR

Established in 2010, the APGA Tour is a non-profit organization with the mission to prepare African American and other underrepresented golfers to compete and win at the highest level of professional golf, both on tour and in the golf industry. This is accomplished through professional tournaments, career development and mentoring sessions. 

Helping to remove the financial burden associated with golf is a top priority for the APGA. Support from Ascension and Daugherty will help ensure that players have access to the tools and support they need to better focus on their career path and development in the game.

The Ascension Classic presented by Daugherty Business Solutions will be the first tournament in the APGA Tour’s Fall Series, a string of four events in St. Louis, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Los Angeles, that are part of the Tour’s 2022 schedule of 17 events offering over $700,000 in prize money. The APGA Tour Farmers Insurance Fall Series will feature a $15,000 bonus pool that pays an additional $7,500 to the player who is awarded the most points from each of the four events.

St. Louis native and APGA pro golfer Christian Heavens will compete at the event. Heavens serves as an official ambassador for Ascension.
