There is no denying that golf is a rich sport! The competitions are filled with lucrative prizes, and golfers have a chance to build their financial kingdom in every way possible. According to reports, golfers win millions of dollars, but what do they do with them?

To give back to society, several golfers create their own charitable foundations. Tiger Woods would be a prime example. In order to develop and promote the well-being, education, and health of all American children, he established the TGR Foundation in 1996. And now another golfer is currently making every effort to give back to society.

Being a lucrative circuit, Gooch earned a lot in LIV Golf. This led him to start his own foundation, the Talor Gooch Foundation, in early 2022 with his wife, Ally. The foundation especially focuses on children and helps them chase their dreams and accomplish them.

The foundation assists children and families who are homeless by collaborating with other organizations, including Positive Tomorrow. The charity has launched a donation drive to help pay for these underprivileged youngsters’ school expenses. The Talor Gooch Foundation shared a post on Instagram regarding the donations. We’re thankful for the @positivetomorrows Back to School Fundraiser donations so far, and could use your help with one last push to get the school started off strong!”

The money will help the foundation provide basic amenities and needs for the local students and provide them with nutritious meals. Along with partnering with Aligned Automation, Gooch also hosted a pro-am tournament to benefit young golfers.

In addition to the contribution, Gooch also hosted a Pro-Am tournament in May to help children, empower them, and provide them with the resources and chances they need to pursue their aspirations. Young golfers gained knowledge from the best players thanks to the tournament.

“I love my Oklahomans and so what we want to do is keep it local, we want to focus on kids, we want to give the next generations an opportunity to chase their dreams, whatever that may be,” Gooch said. “I wouldn’t be here without so many people along the way who have helped give me an opportunity to do more with my life so that’s what we are here for, to help others.”
