Seated Golfers Championship

The USSGA needs your help as we plan a Seated Golfers Championship in 2026. We’ve attached a link to a short survey and ask that you please take a moment to fill it out. Your responses will help us begin the planning process, particularly around course setup and adaptive cart needs.

Please Help

Your donation will help provide adaptive golf carts for players in wheelchairs at national adaptive golf tournaments and a Seated Golfer Championship. These tournaments are World Ranking events and allow players to get ranked in the WR4DG and the USAGA rankings. The adaptive carts are the only way for a wheelchair user to play golf and they are expensive to transport. We are raising money to fund tournament and our championship. So please help out if you can by donating today.

Why we need the USSGA

With the successful USGA US Adaptive Open in 2022, along with the recent growth of adaptive golf, it became clear for an association dedicated to Seated Golfers be established. Organized and operated by those who use a mobility device to play, the association will advocate for inclusion and access in tournaments and events around the country.

Through partnership and collaboration with adaptive golf organizations, the USSGA will work to ensure the Seated Golfer division can be accommodated in ways that continue to make participation and awareness more accessible.

The goal of the USSGA is to bring together the Seated Golfer community and serve as a hub of information for golfing to include learning, equipment, tournaments, and the rules dedicated to the Seated Division.

USSGA Focus:

USSGA main focus will be on creating a seated golfers championship and to advise the USAGA and the USGA about the rules of golf that pertaining to the seated players. And have meetings throughout the year to discuss issues raised by the players. Some of these areas of discussion would include, but not limited to, the wide variety of injuries that result in a player playing from a mobility device and the rules of golf the seated players play.
