The World Golf Foundation operates within the spectator sports sector, focusing on leveraging golf to deliver social value through targeted initiatives and programs. Based in St. Augustine, Florida, with offices at One World Golf Place, it develops and supports activities that reflect the game's traditional values and seek to positively affect lives. In 2025 the foundation participated in the African American Golf EXPO and Forum, where Steve Mona, a former chief executive of the organization, was slated to receive the Jerry Tarde Courage Award during the PGA Show. The organization has a history of leadership changes, including the 2018 departure of Keith Dawkins as CEO and Barrow's retirement after 18 years, moves linked to broader efforts to make golf more affordable and accessible to youth.
