Charlie Sifford Golf Outing

Event Overview

Charlie Sifford – the first Black player to earn his PGA TOUR card – secured his first victory right here in Connecticut at Wethersfield Country Club. To honor his achievements, the Travelers Championship is hosting an event during tournament week to generate money for The Dr. Charles L. Sifford Scholarship. The scholarship will help fund college costs for students who attend a Historically Black College or University, or for minority students focusing their education on a golf management program. Any student who is or will be attending college is eligible to apply. Travelers, the Travelers Championship and Skins & Pins Golf Club are collaborating to raise funds in support of this event.

Charlie’s pioneering efforts created a pathway for all minority golfers to develop a successful career in professional golf. Similarly, the goal of the Dr. Charles L. Sifford Scholarship is to help support college students who qualify, as they pursue their professional career.

The Cobbs Creek Foundation will serve as the fiscal sponsor of the Dr. Charles L. Sifford Scholarship. From its founding in 1916, Cobbs Creek embraced both Black and women golfers and acted as the home course to Charlie Sifford during the time he was a resident of Philadelphia.
