As an official PGA TOUR Champions event, the Ascension Charity Classic is in good company when it comes to charity.
The PGA TOUR, its players and tournaments support more than 3,000 charities. These local and national organizations affect the lives of millions in the communities where we live and play. In 2017 more than $180 million was generated to charitable causes as a part of these initiatives, bringing the all-time total generated for charity by the PGA TOUR to $2.65 billion since 1938.
