Can you remember when you met one of your childhood idols? The Caddie for the Pro program gives you the chance to offer a child from The First Tee program that same type of of experience! Be a part of their introduction to a PGA TOUR professional during Monday and Wednesday’s Pro-Am’s. The First Tee will sponsor upwards of (80) kids (28 Mon | 52 Wed) from their program, who will have proven themselves on course and in the classroom for this inside the ropes experience. First Tee kids will be stationed at the 13th Tee box and will get the chance to meet and take photos with a PGA TOUR professional. If the child is old enough, they will also have a chance to carry the PGA TOUR professional’s bag from Tee to Green on that hole.
Schwab volunteers will be asked to support the introduction of the First Tee kids, helping organize and distribute caddie uniforms, help take photos for the kids and even walk with them from tee-to-green as they carry the professional’s bag.
