Jack Corrêa

Golf Professional

Member of PGA Brazil & USGTF (USA)

President of the Instituto Golfe Brasil

 

    I am the fourth generation of the traditional Corrêa family in Brazilian golf, with a trajectory that began when I was 4 years old. I grew up in the sport, going through all youth categories until I became a professional player. My training began at the Teresópolis Golf Club, where I worked as a youth and amateur until 2001. From then on, I started my professional career in São Paulo. My experience includes acting as an instructor in renowned golf centers, such as Kaiser Golf Center (2001), One Golf (2008), Golf & Tênis Alphaville RP (2010) and Banana Golf, in Barra da Tijuca – RJ (2011). I returned to Teresópolis Golf Club as a professional, where I had the honor of assuming the role of Captain of the Golf Department in 2013.

    In 2018, I received an invitation to join the board of directors of Rio de Janeiro's Olympic Golf Course, assuming the position of Vice President. Since 2023, I have been at the forefront of the project to democratize the sport as President of the Instituto Golfe Brasil, focusing on social inclusion and popular access to golf in the Barueri-SP ecological park, the first public park that accepted the popularization of the sport in Brazil.

    Currently, I am an active member of PGA Brazil and the USGTF (United States Golf Teachers Federation), representing Brazilian golf in national and international sports development initiatives.

 

My dream:

"To make everyone have access to this wonderful sport full of real opportunities"
