Watson Links, the youth golf mentoring nonprofit founded by eight-time major champion Tom Watson, has partnered with Bank of America as part of the bank’s “Golf with Us” initiative. The collaboration makes Bank of America a Champion Partner of Watson Links, which pairs junior golfers ages 10-18 with vetted adult mentors for nine-hole rounds focused on developing confidence, golf etiquette, and life skills.
In 2025, 1,153 junior golfers and mentors participated in Watson Links programs across 21 U.S. markets. Bank of America’s broader Golf with Us program has already supported nearly 100,000 young people, including many first-time golfers. The 2026 expansion will extend programs to 55 markets nationwide, significantly broadening the initiative’s reach by removing barriers including course access and costs.
