APGA

Established in 2010, the Advocates Professional Golf Association (APGA) Tour is an inclusive non-profit organization with the mission to prepare African Americans and other minority golfers to compete and win at the highest level of professional golf, both on tour and in the golf industry. This is accomplished through professional tournaments, career development and mentoring sessions.

The sixth annual APGA Tour Farmers Insurance Invitational took place at Torrey Pines Golf Course in conjunction with the PGA TOUR’s Farmers Insurance Open®. The event is a part of Farmers® ongoing commitment to the APGA Tour and its work to grow diversity in golf. Helping to remove the financial burden associated with the game and providing playing opportunities are top priorities for both Farmers and the APGA. The organizations are also focused on ensuring players have access to the tools and support they need, allowing them to better focus on their career path and development in the game.
