Tom Watson's involvement with the First Tee of Kansas City...

There is no better friend or role model for Kansas City's kids than Tom Watson. He first hosted an event for Cystic Fibrosis in 1976. From 1979 and during the 25 years that followed, supported by the Blue Hills Country Club and a host of volunteers, Tom's annual Children's Mercy Hospital Classic has produced over nine million dollars to help create one of the finest pediatric facilities in the country.

Tom now hostes the Annual Tom Watson Challenge. The real winner of the event are the young people who participate in The First Tee of Greater Kansas City. Last year's event contributed more than $70,000 to The First Tee Scholarship Fund.

Finally, Tom donates his time, his talent and his money in support of the Junior Golf Foundation of Greater Kansas City as Chairman of its Advisory Board. The eleven acre Haert of America junior facility is the product of his design and his hands-on supervision during its construction.
