A premier charitable golf organization uniting philanthropy, purpose, and sport in honor of those who write the “blank check” every day to protect and serve us all.
The Patriot Cup Golf Series, Inc. was established in 2022 and is registered in the State of New York as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. We began as an exclusive, member-only competitive golf league — five events each year, each one supporting a single charitable beneficiary.
Over four seasons we’ve grown into something larger. Today we channel that energy into one flagship tournament — the Spring Classic — whose proceeds support up to five regional and nationally recognized nonprofit organizations every year. In a short time, The Patriot Cup has become a trusted name in the charitable golf community, bringing together community and business leaders from across the country for a single, meaningful purpose.
What hasn’t changed is the heart of it: people who love the game using it to do real good for those who serve.
We raise awareness and funds in support of the United States Military, Law Enforcement, and First Responder communities — the courageous individuals who write the “blank check” every day to protect and serve us all.
Through meaningful events, education, storytelling, and collaboration, our mission is simple and powerful: To Give Back and Pay Forward. We are 100% volunteer-driven with zero salaried members or staff, so the dollars raised go where they matter most.
The Spring Classic is held at Baiting Hollow Golf Club, a Robert Trent Jones, Sr.-designed championship course set on the bluffs of Long Island Sound. From breakfast in the clubhouse to a farm-to-table dinner under live music on the patio, it’s a full day built around camaraderie, competition, and cause.
Golfers play a Texas Best Ball Scramble alongside on-course competitions — including four Hole-in-One contests with a chance at a $10,000 cash prize, a “Beat the LPGA Pro” long drive and closest-to-the-pin challenge, and a putting contest. The day closes with live and silent auctions of authentic sports memorabilia, generous raffles, and a program honoring those who serve. Every golfer leaves with a Patriot Swag Bag.
Our anchor partner is Folds of Honor. Since 2007, the organization has provided life-changing scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen or disabled service members — a mission now expanding to the families of America’s first responders. Their spirit and ours are deeply aligned: supporting families, honoring sacrifice, and building brighter futures.
Alongside Folds of Honor, our 2027 beneficiaries include the CPR Foundation (Community-Police Relations), The Freedom 13, and Paws of War — each serving veterans, law enforcement, first responders, and their families. General donations are distributed among our event beneficiaries unless a donor requests otherwise.
Our events have been graced by remarkable voices. Todd Piro of FOX & Friends FIRST has served as Master of Ceremonies, and Sean Stellato joined as a celebrity host. We’ve been honored to welcome guest speaker Christian Meza of Folds of Honor, sports broadcaster Ann Liguori, and Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Donald ‘Doc’ Ballard — one of just 61 living recipients.
We’re equally grateful for the companies who make the mission possible. Past and present partners include Fox News Media (event title sponsor), AssuredPartners, Patriot Golf, Four Branches Bourbon, Natura Cigars, the Whiskey Valor Foundation, Clare Rose, ClearLink, and many more whose generosity turns a day of golf into lasting impact.
Join us Wednesday, June 2 at Baiting Hollow Golf Club for a day of golf, connection, and purpose — all in service of those who serve.
