THE CHARLIE SIFFORD SCHOLARS We talk with the first recipients of the Charle Sifford Scholarships...
Charlie Sifford Scholarship Fund
Charlie Sifford was the first Black player on the PGA TOUR. He secured his first PGA victory in 1967 at the Greater Hartford Open in Connecticut at Wethersfield Country Club. To honor him, a scholarship has been created to help fund college costs for students who attend Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), or for students focusing their education on a golf management program. Any student who is or will be attending college is eligible to apply.
Sponsors
The Travelers Championship, in partnership with Skins and Pins Golf Club, are the inaugural sponsors of the Sifford Scholarship Fund. The Cobbs Creek Foundation serves as the fiscal sponsor for the Fund. Cobbs Creek golf course in Philadelphia was Dr. Sifford’s home course.
“Because of everything that Charlie represents and stood for, we believe it’s important to honor his name and memory” said Nathan Grube, Travelers Championship Tournament Director.
