“Thanks to Webex, these scholarships provide a great opportunity for these world class athletes,” said Nick Bielawski​​​​, Senior Manager – Coaching Programs for the PGA of Australia.

“They’ll receive access to coaching from PGA professionals around Australia. In addition, they’ll receive travel and tournament support to play in more tournaments and improve their world ranking.”
