Invitational Competitions

Topgolf and Special Olympics have formed a global partnership that is committed to making the game of golf more diverse, inclusive and fun. The partnership between Topgolf and Special Olympics demonstrates how inclusive sport training and competition can serve as a catalyst for inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities. What starts in a Topgolf bay can extend into our classrooms, workplaces, and communities. This year, for the first time, Special Olympics and Topgolf are proud to announce the 2026 Topgolf ProAm.
