Golf isn’t just a club and ball sport; this game values principles that are closer to humanity as a whole. Individuals opt for this sport because of their passion and move forward to achieve a lot from what the game has to offer. But those who have stood by the game know the value of giving back to it as well.

This includes many legends who have provided numerous humanitarian services, making golf more than just a sport. One such legendary golfer is Besty King. The 34-time LPGA Tour winner,  who was a phenom on the field, has established a non-profit organization named Golf Fore Africa. It aims at promoting many noble causes. This time, again, another worthy aim has been targeted by the NGO. However, they won’t be alone in fulfilling it; some of the LPGA Tour stars will be joining in to contribute.

LPGA Tour stars join hands for the greater good

The American professional Cheyenne Knight is known by her fans for her incredible skills and charming personality. But there is more to her than being just an athlete. It was quite evident from her recent post. Through this initiative, the 26-year-old showed the golf world her compassionate side.

On her Instagram handle, the LPGA Tour star posted about her collaboration with Golf Fore Africa. She mentioned how she and some of her fellow golfers would be engaging toward an altruistic goal this week at the KPMG PGA Championship. It targets promoting clean water for a village in Africa. Knight and her friends asked their followers to contribute toward this selfless cause at a minimum of $50.

She also added, “Any donations up to $7,500 will be DOUBLED thanks to a generous donor.” Even though the name of the donor was not mentioned, it appears that together all of them will be working to encourage health, life, better nutrition, and economic advancement. Knight also focused on the same benefits that can come from this noble cause. To reinforce the viewers more, she concluded that any contribution will be given a chance to win a Golf Fore Africa swag wag bundle of a hat, hoodie, and hat clip ball marker.

Some other stars will be joining Knight for this cause as well. It includes Gemma Dryburgh, Ally Ewing, Maria Fassi, and Megan Khang. Stacy Lewis, Brittany Lincicome, and Pernilla Lindberg will also make their contributions. Furthermore, Gaby Lopez, Emma Talley, Kelly Tan, Paula Reto, and Lauren Stephenson have also registered their names for the same.
