In a word: charity. The 100% benefactor of the President’s Cup is the fact that it has helped close to 500 different charities around the world to the tune of nearly $30 million in its 19 plus years of existence. The golfers who compete choose the charities of their choice for the net proceeds to be distributed, helping millions of people across the globe.
Therefore, it is worthwhile beyond the golfing competition.
The other fact that it is worldwide, with the exception of Europe, is significant, as the charitable money can be spread where it might normally not be included. This year’s International squad has players from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Australia, Japan, Canada, Argentina and of course the United States.
So, after the golf is concluded Sunday afternoon and the cheering has subsided, the real benefits will be seen. I am interested in seeing how the players distribute the proceeds and I will try to update you on the distribution when it becomes available.
Yeah, we not only see compelling golf action this weekend but a much more important action will help those in need around the world.
