Avid golfers have a passion for the game. But also often share the desire to help those who can benefit from the game.

I think you'll find the stories from diverse people such as Cristie Kerr to George Bush, Michael Fox, and Morgan Freeman, and even Johnny Manziel both interesting and inspirational.

Gary Player

"The Black Knight"

Golf's Man in Black has distinguished himself among The Big Three with his global approach to philanthropy. Founded in 1983 to address the needs of impoverished children living near his farm in South Africa, the Player Foundation has raised more than $50 million to help needy kids around the world. Six years ago it expanded into China's Yunnan Province to help children with HIV-AIDS. An early advocate for fitness, Player does much more than participate in golf-event fundraisers: Not only does he visit schools, including the first one he established, he gets out to play in soccer games, participates in sports days and loves to sing and dance with the kids. In London he rode a bike from an impoverished school to 10 Downing Street to raise awareness of students' needs.
