About us
One warrior at a time, since 2011.
A mental-health wellness organization that helps combat-wounded veterans transition into civilian life through golf and social integration.
The North Texas Warrior Golf Association (NTWGA) was founded in 2011 by high-school golfer Matt Rosenberger and his father, Glenn. It has been 100% warrior-led since 2015 and today serves disabled combat veterans across North Texas with free, rehabilitative golf programs.
Our story
From a fundraiser to a warrior-led family.
Inspired by the Salute Military Golf Association (SMGA), Matt Rosenberger founded the organization in 2011 to support fellow warriors through the game of golf. With his father, Glenn, Matt organized the first fundraising tournaments, quickly built a strong team of local sponsors and raised more than $22,000 for SMGA programs.
Thanks to dedicated sponsors, the program grew into a full range of rehabilitative activities: clinics, local outings, golf trips, tournament play and opportunities to take part in PGA events.
