It’s time for a new par
In golf, par is what aim for — but what if we aspired beyond strokes and scores? At Grant Thornton, our new par is to empower those not often seen or heard in golf. What’s yours?

The future of golf:
Unfair challenge
What does it take to set up a shot when you’re not set up for success? We challenged LPGA pros Nelly and Jessica Korda to play at a disadvantage to show that, while barriers can be part of the game, they shouldn’t keep people from playing it.
Every player. Everywhere.
