Golf players from all over the country know what a PGA Golf Tournament is. Many dream of being able to compete against some of the best players in the sport. This year, at the 2024 Travelers Championship, the goal was about much more than finishing strong in the game. The tournament managed to raise a huge amount of money to go toward a long list of charities. With so many people being drawn to the event, you can only imagine how many put their minds together to make this all happen. By the end of the tournament, the Travelers Championship had $3.2M to send out to over 200 charities. In fact, there are 206 charities that got a donation because of this event.
For a tournament that draws out most of the top 50 players, it makes sense that PGA would be able to gather so much to give back to others. The 2024 PGA Travelers Championship was held in Connecticut and hosted seven out of the 10 best players in the Official World Golf Ranking. Whatever reason these individuals had to come compete, it makes a huge difference to see such outstanding competitors come out and help make a difference. Even the number one world player made an appearance and gave everyone a good run until he won the event. He says he’s a proud competitor of the event for how well it’s run and for all of the charitable good it does.
This year, the Travelers Championship was able to donate the most amount of money they’ve ever given from the event. Over $3.2M were split among the 206 chosen charities after their record breaking tournament. With a large purse prize, even the least giving person put in their best efforts to help support the cause this year. With any luck, PGA will be able to continue offering such high contributions to so many different charities. The summer event will take place again next year in June and it hopes to find similar success as this chart topping year.
If you like to watch golf, this could be a great way for you to support charitable giving. Even views for an event like this can help bring out more supporters and more donors. Tune in for the next PGA Travelers Tournament to keep up on the good news they bring to so many charities. For a rich man’s game, gold really seems to be doing its part to help a lot of people in need.
