The Morgan Pressel Foundation was founded by the Professional golf Morgan Pressel, a native of Florida. Pressel at the young age of 12 made golf history as she became the youngest female to qualify for the U.S open championship.

In September 2003, Pressel’s mother lost her fight with cancer at the young age of 43.
This experience led her to establish the annual Morgan and Friends Fight Cancer Tournament, where proceeds are sent to various medical research facilities based in Florida; one of which is the Lynn Cancer Institute.
