FICO had deepened its commitment to First Tee, a national youth development organization that harnesses the game of golf to instill life skills, build character, and develop confidence. FICO?s investment will support First Tee programs nationally and expand access to credit education for First Tee chapters, participants and alumni across the network, furthering both organizations? commitment to building confidence and life skills for young people.

FICO will host hands-on credit education events for First Tee participants at chapter locations, including activations timed to coincide with tournaments in their respective markets. First Tee ? Miami and First Tee ?

Metro Atlanta are among the first chapters to benefit from these on-site programs. The partnership recently came to life at the inaugural Cadillac Championship in Miami where nearly 100 First Tee participants joined professional golfer Keegan Bradley for a putting challenge, live golf demonstration, and Q&A ? complemented by a FICO-led credit education workshop that brought together lessons in discipline, resilience, and financial confidence both on and off the course. FICO is making its suite of credit education tools and resources available to First Tee chapters and alumni nationwide.

Those resources include the Score a Better Future® (SABF) Fundamentals program ? a free, comprehensive credit literacy initiative designed to equip young people with the knowledge they need to enter adulthood confident and financially informed ? as well as Banzai, a free credit education platform available in more than 70% of U.S. schools.

The Impact Partnership builds on First Tee and FICO?s early collaboration, which included chapter-level events in Canada and North Carolina and reflects a shared commitment to meeting young people where they are ? in their communities and on the golf course.
