Golf and charity often go hand in hand, particularly on the PGA and LPGA Tours, which frequently support NGOs and non-profit organizations aimed at helping the underprivileged. Beyond the leagues, players themselves have taken the initiative to give back, leveraging their platforms and fanbases to raise significant funds for charitable causes. Among the notable contributors is Bryson DeChambeau, who donated $25,000 to cancer-stricken Jarrod Lyle after winning the PGA Championship’s Long Drive Competition.
Joining the charitable effort is English golfer Charley Hull, who not only raises awareness about scams falsely using her name but has also taken proactive steps to make a difference. Recently, Hull organized an online raffle to support Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Tickets were priced at a minimum of £5, with 100% of the proceeds directed toward the hospital.
Hull announced the raffle on December 6, setting a goal to raise over £17,000 by its closing date on December 15. In her post, she mentioned a personal connection to the cause, sharing that her trainer’s son had received treatment at GOSH. On the 10th day of the raffle, Hull proudly announced the campaign’s success. Sharing the update via her Instagram story, she wrote, “My raffle raising funds for GOSH (Great Ormond Street Hospital) has ended, and together we raised an incredible £17,030🌟Thank you so much to all those who spread the word and bought tickets. I’m overwhelmed by your support and generosity.”
Charlie Hull also explained that the funds would be used to support the hospital’s mission, which includes enhancing facilities, funding research, and providing critical care to children in need. The English golfer also shared details about the winners of her fundraiser, stating, “All winners have been notified by email.” The lucky participants would receive signed memorabilia, as previously revealed in Hull’s Instagram post.
