Congratulations to our very own Ken Hoffman on being named PGA TOUR Volunteer of the Year! An integral part of Arnie’s Army since 1979, Ken has devoted countless hours to the #APInv and for that, we are extremely grateful!
Ken Hoffman, a volunteer at the Arnold Palmer Invitational since 1979, has been selected as the 2024 PGA TOUR Volunteer of the Year! Hoffman initially served with the Status Board committee. After many years of chairing several committees, Hoffman served as a member of the Volunteer Executive Board for eight years before becoming the Volunteer General Chairman in 2017 and 2018. While previous chairmen retired after their term, Hoffman continued to support multiple areas of the tournament and was invited to serve on the Volunteer Executive Leadership Team where he oversees the Scoring committees. With the award, the PGA TOUR will donate $10,000 to the charity of Hoffman’s choosing – The Arnold & Winnie Palmer Foundation, the primary beneficiary of the Arnold Palmer's tournament. PGA TOUR tournaments would not be possible without the support of volunteers, who not only help events operate with unsurpassed guest service, but also contribute to the overall charitable impact. With the support of more than 100,000 volunteers annually demonstrating the PGA TOUR Volunteer Service Excellence priority standards of safety, competition and hospitality, the TOUR assists approximately 3,000 charities each year. Virtually all tournaments are organized as non-profit organizations to maximize charitable giving, and to date, tournaments across all Tours have generated more than $4 billion.
