Cobbs Creek Foundation Partners with Jordan Spieth Family Foundation on Youth Golf

Grant award will fund a junior putting green on Cobbs Creek Campus

The Cobbs Creek Foundation announced a grant award from the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation to construct a junior putting green on the revitalized Cobbs Creek Campus.

The $250,000 grant will provide all funding for a 20,000 square-foot Jordan Spieth Family Foundation Junior Putting Green for young players to be introduced to the game of golf.

“We thank the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation for generously supporting our mission to provide a world-class public golf experience that will proudly welcome players of all ages,” said Jeff Shanahan, President of the Cobbs Creek Foundation. “The addition of a Junior Putting Green on the Cobbs Creek Campus will allow us to open even more doors to future players and provide transformative opportunities for the youth in our community.”

The Junior Putting Green will be built outside of the TGR Learning Lab, the educational center under construction on the Campus. The TGR Learning Lab will provide year-round education programs for local youth and is being developed through the Cobbs Creek Foundation’s partnership with TGR Foundation, a Tiger Woods charity.

“We are very excited to support the Cobbs Creek Foundation in their mission to grow the game of golf and support youth of Philadelphia. The Junior Putting Green will serve as an inviting space where young players can be introduced to the sport, develop their skills, and foster a love for golf,” said Annie Spieth of the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation. “Golf is a great vehicle to learn valuable life lessons, as well as receive comprehensive mentorship and support. This area and its complimentary programming will be an avenue for transformative opportunities for young people. We are honored to lean into the history of Cobbs Creek as well as support its future.”

The Jordan Spieth Family Foundation Junior Putting Green and TGR Learning Lab are expected to be completed in 2025.

In partnership with local schools and community members, the Foundation’s mission is to create a state-of-the-art, economically sustainable golf and educational campus that provides opportunity for the youth of Philadelphia by serving their academic, athletic, and social-emotional needs.
