In related news, the Stifel Charity Classic announced today the details surrounding the return of Folds of Honor Friday presented by Compliance Solutions – an inspirational program, now in its third year, that is celebrated on Fridays at more than 50 tournaments on the PGA Tour, PGA Tour Champions and Korn Ferry Tour.
Folds of Honor Friday brings the National Anthem to golf and recognizes the commitment and sacrifice of military service members and first responders who guard our freedoms and protect our communities. It is an inspiring experience for fans, players, caddies, sponsors, volunteers, and tournament staff to engage on-site through a shared connection and appreciation of those heroes who preserve our freedoms and protect our families.
At the Stifel Charity Classic, all are encouraged to wear red, white and blue on Friday as an outward display of unity and an inward commitment to meeting sacrifice with hope for the families of America’s fallen or disabled military and first responders.
Additional programming for Folds of Honor Friday includes the official Opening Ceremony presented by Prairie Farms, featuring a performance of the National Anthem and Presentation of Colors, as well as official Folds of Honor ribbon pins that will be proudly distributed and displayed throughout the inspirational day.
“Prairie Farms is proud to continue our support of Folds of Honor and its mission through the 2026 Stifel Charity Classic Folds of Honor Friday Opening Ceremony,” said Matt McClelland, CEO and Executive Vice President of Prairie Farms Dairy, Inc. “The work Folds of Honor does to provide educational opportunities for the families of fallen and disabled military service members and first responders is incredibly meaningful. Having the opportunity to support this important mission right here in our hometown makes our involvement even more special.”
As a result of the Stifel Charity Classic’s inclusion in Folds of Honor Friday, 13 individuals in North County and the greater St. Louis region will receive academic scholarships on behalf of the tournament.
Moreover, thanks to the Sprint to St. Louis presented by Compliance Solutions, a new PGA Tour Champions six-event points-based competition culminating at the Stifel Charity Classic, one additional Folds of Honor scholarship will be awarded to a local recipient.
Folds of Honor was founded by Lt Col Dan Rooney, history’s only F-16 fighter pilot to also become a PGA of America Golf Professional. Folds of Honor provides educational scholarships to the children and spouses of fallen or disabled military service members and first responders. Since its inception in 2007, it has awarded nearly 73,000 academic scholarships valued at more than $340 million. In Missouri, 265 recipients received awards for the 2025-26 academic cycle, equaling more than $1.25 million in local impact, while 135 qualified applicants did not receive full funding. The need remains great. For the current academic year, Folds of Honor awarded a record 11,000 scholarships. However, about 7,700 fully-qualified applicants did not receive full funding due to a lack of resources.
The Stifel Charity Classic presented by Compliance Solutions is the week of October 19-25 at Norwood Hills Country Club in St. Louis, Missouri.
