HAVEN, Wis. — United States Ryder Cup Captain Steve Stricker, his five vice captains and the 12-member U.S. Team have finalized their $2.85 million commitment to the 43rd Ryder Cup Outreach Program, which will go to designated charities and youth-golf development programs across the country.
Since 1999, and now spanning 11 Ryder Cups, the outreach program has contributed over $28.6 million to more than 200 charitable organizations.
All members of the 43rd U.S. Team, along with Stricker, designated $100,000 each to the charity or charities of their choice. Another $100,000 is directed to support youth-golf development programs designed to introduce children to golf, provide unique approaches to play the game and deliver world-class coaching and mentoring to juniors who may not otherwise have the financial means.
Each Ryder Cup player gets to donate $100K to charities of their choosing. I like that Daniel Berger gave $50K to Mia's MiracleFoundation started in honor of Camilo Villegas’ infant daughter who died of cancer & $50K to St. Jude Children’s Hospital.
