J.R. is proud to host the J.R. Ramirez Charity Golf Classic, benefiting the Latino Scholarship Program at the University of South Florida. This isn’t just about a day on the green — it’s about much more. Golf has always been more than just a sport for J.R. It’s a place of peace, discipline, and perspective — a space to reset, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. It teaches patience, focus, and the power of showing up — lessons that have impacted J.R. both in his personal and professional life.
J.R. understands the importance of access, opportunity, and representation. The Latino Scholarship Program provides financial support and mentorship to students pursuing higher education. To J.R., there’s no better investment than helping young people chase their dreams and swing for something bigger. This tournament celebrates culture, community, and the next generation of Latino leaders. We hope you’ll join us to play with purpose to swing the doors open for students chasing their dreams!
