About Me

Vincent is Zambia’s first elected member of the Professional Golfers Association of America. His inspirational Journey to PGA membership has been covered by major golf publications and was recognized in the United States house of congress. In 2020, he was selected to the national PGA leadership development program which is a PGA initiative to identify future industry leaders from diverse backgrounds.

INSPIRATIONAL JOURNEY

Vincent is a passionate motivational speaker and shares his message of hope, determination and resilience to various audiences. He picked up the game of golf at 9-years-old and didn’t look back. Despite limited resources, he won many tournaments and went on to represent the Zambia National team at international events. His ambitions for a career in golf first took him to England, then St Andrews in Scotland and back to Zambia where he facilitated the countries first Junior golf academy and became national coach at age 23. In 2013 he packed up and moved to America to pursue his ultimate goal of becoming a PGA golf professional. He endured loss of sponsorship and many other setbacks before finally achieving his goal in 2018. He draws his audience to the importance of never giving up, being open minded and living to try one more time after another.

My Foundation

Raised by the World is a 501(c)3 non-profit established in 2017. Its mission is to empower underserved youths in Zambian communities. Through partnerships with students from the University of Zambia and other higher learning institutions, we facilitate access to knowledge and career opportunities. Our mentorship outreach has to date empowered 3000 boys and girls with knowledge about developing and accomplishing a goal.

Through the foundation, we also organize the Albert Kabaso Junior Series which is a junior golf schedule of events across Zambia. Our aim is to increase participation in the game and at the same time, use it to promote core life skills and values amongst all participants. Please consider making a monetary donation and help us increase our outreach. All of your donations will be used to advance our mission.
