The PCA Caddie Foundation has helped many young caddies receive educational support, and the PCA Caddie Benevolent and Retirement Fund provides financial benefits to retired caddies. The PCA also conducts a caddie training and certification program and has helped train more than 12,000 caddies worldwide.
