The National Golf Player Development Foundation

It was a productive week at the PGA Show. Made new contacts with potential resource providers on the show floor, participated in the Diversity Roundtable activities and ADAG session and had a presence at the African American Golf Expo. 2026 is off to a good start.

It’s great when I get to see members playing in tournaments: Tye Treadwell at the Sonoran Am at Estrella Mountain, Ashley Shaw at the Silver Belle and KJ Elam at the USKids event. Congratulations to KJ on his 3rd Place finish. Also greatvwhen NGPDF members meet (Zafir and Obasi Winn and Ashley Shaw) Good work by all.

NGPDF is proud of member, Ariel Collins, on being named 2025 GA PGA Jr. Tour POY. Ariel is putting in the work and we at NGPDF are pleased to support her journey. Congrats to Ariel and the Collins family.

It’s great when I get a chance to meet an NGPDF player and parent. Tye and his dad Shon are in Phoenix playing in the Sugaro Junior. Tye has all the tools and we are happy to support his family’s efforts. Good luck today!
