Hi, my name is Faith McKinney, and I’m chasing a dream that’s been years in the making—playing professional golf and competing in the Women’s Long Drive Tour.

I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, where I fell in love with golf at a young age through First Tee. That love carried me through high school at Faith Lutheran, where I played varsity all four years, and led me to Chicago State University, where I earned a Division I full-ride golf scholarship and served as team captain. I recently graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Business Marketing and recently moved back home to Vegas to continue this journey; one swing at a time.

Now, I’m taking the leap into professional golf, with upcoming tournaments on both the Sapphire Tour and in the World Long Drive circuit. My debut events are:

* Rocky Mountain Rumble (World Long Drive) – August 17th, 2025 – Denver, CO

*Sapphire Tour Event- August 26-27th, 2025- Maryland

* Sapphire Tour Event – September 28-30th, 2025 – Atlanta, GA

*Sapphire Tour Event- October TBD - Houston

*Sapphire Tour Event- November 23-25th, 2025- Jacksonville, FL

To compete at this level, I need your support. I’m raising funds to help cover:

• Golf lessons (to keep my swing sharp)

• Travel & flights (to reach the events across the country)

• Hotel stays & rental cars

• Registration fees & tour membership costs

This journey is more than just golf. It’s about representing women of color in a space where we’re often underrepresented, showing young girls what’s possible, and proving to myself that I can rise to this challenge.

Whether it’s $5 or $500, your contribution gets me one step closer to the tee box. If you can’t donate, a share means the world too. Let’s make this dream real together.

Thank you for believing in me.
