Building the game and moving it closer to his fans has always been Sergio Garcia’s ultimate aim. Because of that, the Spaniard started a charity event in 2022 for all his young fans, as he could encourage the spirit of golf in them. The FORE Kids ATX has been held in Austin, Texas, for two years. At the end of the year, the 1-time major winner and his wife, Angela Garcia, overlook it. This year, the event will feature only a few LIV golfers.

Although the Saudi-backed league is on season break, why couldn’t the players make it to FORE Kids ATX? In an interview with Golf Magic, the 2017 Masters winner talked about pending sanctions, allegedly $2 million, for the Ryder Cup and answered that question. Garcia recounted how in the first year they had plenty of golfers enjoying the event, including Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Ian Poulter, Joaquin Niemann, Eugenio Chacarra, Charles Schwartzel, Jason Kokrak, Talor Gooch, and more. Even last year, Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Reed, Gooch, and Abraham Ancer were there. But this year, there are only three confirmed LIV pros: Reed, David Puig, and Ancer.

Explaining the low number of pros, Garcia said, “The first year we did it with a few more players, but we realized it’s difficult to get so many of the guys to come and make it fit into their schedules, so it’s difficult to organize it that way.” The LIV golfers not teeing off at the tournament might be busy kicking back, relaxing, and enjoying their off time with their loved ones, which could have made it difficult for Garcia to invite them.

Furthermore, the 44-year-old expressed how having four or five golfers made the event more unique for the participants, sponsors, and donors. Regardless of fewer golfers backing the charity event, Garcia was excited for it to start and shared that it was his footprint to leave behind and remembered for.

The event will happen in Austin, Texas, at the Fazio Foothills, Omni Barton Creek Resort, OBC. So if you are in the city and want to support Sergio and Angela Garcia’s event, here is how you can!

Can you purchase a ticket for Sergio Garcia’s charity event?

Unfortunately, there are no such tickets for the FORE Kids ATX event. However, the interested folks are asked to buy a sponsorship for the two-day event. The first day will be celebrated at the Four Seasons Hotel Austin on November 1st. The Par-Tee sponsorship starts at $10,000 and offers ten seats for the night, which will start at 6:00 p.m. The entertainment evening will have a special cocktail reception, live music and dance, and an exclusive dinner for the sponsors.

On the second day of the event, November 2nd, the one-day golf tournament will be held. The registration will start at 8 a.m., and the LIV Golf Pro will shotgun start all the teams at 9 a.m. The highest package for the tournament costs $250K as the presenting sponsor, and for fans who wish to only play a game with Sergio Garcia and other pros, the package will cost $10,000 for four players.

Three weeks remain for the event to start and plenty of sponsorship is available for the FORE Kids ATX. In the last two years, Garcia and his wife have raised nearly $5 million for different charities. With the 2024 edition, the 44-year-old hopes to surpass the previous record and help the cause in need.
