"Professional golf has seen incredible financial growth at the very top. But the pathway below that level remains fragile. NEXT was created to widen access to competition. Reinvesting these funds back into player development is fully aligned with why we built this tour in the first place."

"What NEXT Golf Tour has done for players' careers is unmatched. This player fund is just yet another example of the great things that NEXT Golf Tour is doing. Down the road, I truly believe that leaderboards all over the world will be littered with players that jumpstarted their carer on the NEXT Golf Tour."
