LIV golfer Sergio Garcia to host a charity event for kids
Sergio Garcia and his wife, Angela Garcia, are preparing to host a charity golf event for kids. They are returning with the third edition of the FORE Kids ATX event, which is scheduled to take place on Friday, November 1, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin.
The event will be held over two days, Friday, November 1, and Saturday, November 2, and will welcome renowned golfers and other celebrities. The first round will have a Par-Tee start, while the second round will feature a shotgun start at Fazio Foothills Golf Course.
The tournament began in 2022 and has reportedly raised around $5 million for children in need. This year, it will benefit The UGLI Foundation, The Muny Conservancy, Austin Youth Golf Academy, and Foster Village. Additionally, it will support the Dell Children's Medical Center.
Speaking of the tournament, Garcia said (via Golf Magic):
“My family and I are lucky to call Austin, Texas, our home. With our roots firmly planted here in Central Texas, it is truly a blessing to host FORE Kids ATX with Angela for the third year in a row, hopefully reaching even more families in need who also call Texas home.”
Recently, the former Masters winner shared a post on his Instagram account expressing his excitement for this year's edition of the event. He uploaded a reel with videos from last year's event.
"I’m here for the bloopers… and to be the neighborhood comedian. Just three days away from our annual FORE Kids ATX event here in Austin. Angela and I are incredibly grateful for everyone’s support over the last few years and excited to see the impact we can make this year. If you can’t make it but you’d still like to make a donation or contribute please send me a message! @forekids_atx," he wrote.
