A simple “why not?” about playing the National Anthem on the PGA Tour grew into a heartfelt campaign when Folds of Honor scholar Jackson Roos—whose dad served in the military and survived the 1994 Pope Air Force Base tragedy—became its emblem. Lt. Col. Dan Rooney, who founded Folds of Honor, explains how “Folds of Honor Friday” honors service and sacrifice by featuring the anthem at golf events.
This new tradition is more than a soundtrack; it’s reshaping golf culture by putting military families front and center. Through personal stories like Jackson’s, the sport’s biggest stages are now a platform for gratitude, remembrance, and community impact.
