Ben Hogan Foundation

Until now, a foundation honoring one of the most revered men ever to play the game of golf didn’t exist. But thanks to Ben Hogan’s niece, Lisa Scott, and a few other key professionals, the Ben Hogan Foundation finally came to be in August 2006. The Ben Hogan Foundation will fund charities and programs that reflect his core values: qualities like self-determination, courage, a competitive spirit, integrity and hard work. It will support his passions: golf and its influence on young people, education, and the well-being of children. Based in Fort Worth, the foundation is a 501(c)(3) charity, and will be principally funded through contributions made by individuals and corporations seeking to support and preserve the courageous legacy of Ben Hogan
