The Dan Baker
PGA Jr. League at The Park
The late Dan Baker, PGA, serves as an inspiring reminder of what it means to truly dedicate oneself to a passion. His impact on the PGA of America and the broader golf community was profound and far-reaching, marked by his kindness and commitment to uplifting those around him. Dan didn’t just love the game; he devoted his life to ensuring it was accessible to everyone.
To honor Dan’s life, the PGA of America REACH Foundation and the South Florida PGA Section are pleased to share the establishment of a PGA Jr. League Opportunity League endowed in Dan’s name at The Park in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The creation of this endowment is a testament to Dan’s legacy in the golf industry, and stands as a beacon of hope for aspiring young golfers — assuring them that financial assistance need not stifle their dreams. His spirit will live on in every swing, every putt and moment in between shared on the course and beyond.
May Dan’s legacy continue to inspire all of us to push the game and the industry forward.
