Pro-am Hassan II Kids Cup by First Tee

The Pro-am Hassan II Kids Cup by First Tee will be held on Wednesday, February 5th, on the Green Course of the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam. 9 teams will compete, each consisting of two children from the national First Tee program, accompanied by a player from the PGA Tour Champions or a player from the Ladies European Tour to challenge each other in a fun and educational atmosphere.

The introduction of the First Tee program, initiated by His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid, President of the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation (RMGF), has been an opportunity to offer Morocco a successful example of integration and education through golf, complementing the existing golf schools.

First Tee, very popular in the United States, is a non-profit organization created in 1997, which aims to teach life skills and values through golf. In 2019, the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation signed a partnership with First Tee USA, allowing the launch of the “First Tee Morocco” chapter. This project enables young people to grow and acquire skills that can help them in their personal academic journeys.

This initiative has strengthened the educational and formative role of golf, helping young people develop a sense of responsibility and values toward others.

Since its membership, Morocco has continued to significantly develop the First Tee program.

To date, more than 240 young people from 7 First Tee Morocco have benefited from this program with success in the cities of Rabat, Marrakech, Agadir, Tangier, Saïdia, Casablanca, and Ifrane.
