Competition & Advancement
Professional events give players a place to test their game, earn prize money and prepare for the next stage. Six Sapphire Tour players competed in 2026 Q-School.
Our impact
Talent Deserves
a Way Forward.
Professional competition is the anchor. Player development, visibility and community connection turn each tournament into an opportunity that reaches beyond the leaderboard.
The players come first
A Stage for Today.
A Pathway for Tomorrow.
The Sapphire Golf Tour centers and advances women of color, particularly Black and Latina women, in professional golf. The talent is here. Consistent access, financial resources and visibility are what help that talent keep moving.
Sapphire connects meaningful competition with support for the athlete’s personal, performance and professional development. The goal is a stronger bridge from collegiate and elite amateur golf into the professional game—and more opportunity to advance.

Purse and player support help address the financial demands of the pursuit. Development focuses on performance, personal growth and the professional skills that sustain a career.
Visibility That Travels

Competition. Culture. Community. Content.
Bring People Inside the Ropes.

Pro-Am & Charity Participants
Shared rounds connect players with supporters, business leaders and the wider golf community.
VIP & Hospitality Guests
Tournament hospitality brings people together around the players and the experience.
Women in Golf Clinics
Welcoming experiences create another way for women to engage with the game.
Junior Clinic Participants
Young golfers encounter instruction, encouragement and a pathway they can see.
Also: 65+ creators and influencers invited across the first 13 months. Participation figures are tour-reported in the 2025–2026 impact report.
Building toward 2027
The Next Chapter of the Pathway.
With The GOLF Foundation, Sapphire is working to connect the stages of the game. These initiatives are planned or under development for 2027.
Planned
Junior Access
Programs planned for Memphis and Prince George’s County, Maryland, would connect young people ages 6–18 with instruction, mentorship and a clearer route into competitive golf.
In development
Campus to Competition
HBCU and collegiate partnerships aim to strengthen professional competition, mentorship and career connections. A standalone women’s collegiate competition is also being explored.
In development
The Whole Player
The MastHERclass off-season retreat is envisioned as a focused setting for personal, performance and professional development, alongside more visibility for elite local amateurs.
