Since 2012, the WGA Caddie Academy has provided caddie opportunities for current freshmen in high school who have excellent academics, demonstrated financial need and outstanding character and who would otherwise be unable to caddie at WGA-affiliated clubs. The Caddie Academy has been offered to young women each year since 2012, and in 2017, the WGA launched a program for young men.
