Crazy, right? Even a 6-time PGA Tour winner feels insecure every time he steps on the course! Not everyone knows, but he opened up about it with the recent video of the PGA Tour where he participated in raising funds for the LA wildfire. Since the disaster, the golf community has rallied to support recovery efforts.
Earlier, Justin Thomas donated $50,000. Even the Genesis Invitational introduced “Birdies for Good” to help raise funds with each birdie $300 will be added to the donation. While each eagle will increase by $10,000. Now to further add to the great initiative, Jimmy Darts, Jason Kennedy, and Max Homa in the recent video joined for a 4-hole scramble match.
For every par, $5,000 is donated; birdies earn $10,000, and eagles bring in $15,000. On the fairway, Kennedy encouraged sharing insecurities. Darts opened up about his concave chest, while Kennedy mentioned dots on his chest.
