Immediately following the conclusion of the Tour Championship, professional golfers Tommy Fleetwood and Nelly Korda made headlines off the green by announcing the official launch of the GOLF Scholarship Fund for Orphans and Children with Special Needs.

With a shared vision to make golf more inclusive and accessible, Fleetwood and Korda unveiled the initiative with a clear mission: to ensure that underprivileged children, particularly orphans and those with special needs, have equal opportunities to access both sports and education.

The fund will provide comprehensive support, including free golf equipment, access to professional training programs, and academic scholarship packages. Designed to nurture young talent, ignite a passion for golf, and create new pathways for brighter futures, the initiative marks a significant step toward inclusivity in a sport that has often been viewed as exclusive.

“Our goal is simple,” said Fleetwood. “We want to give these kids a chance — not just in golf, but in life. Golf taught us discipline, confidence, and perseverance. Every child deserves that opportunity.”

Nelly Korda echoed the sentiment: “This fund is about more than just golf. It’s about hope. It’s about showing children who’ve been through so much that they are seen, they are valued, and they are capable of achieving greatness.”

The announcement was met with widespread praise from fans and fellow athletes alike, who lauded the duo’s commitment to giving back. Social media lit up with messages of support, hailing the move as a “game-changing act of compassion” from two of the sport’s most respected stars.

The GOLF Scholarship Fund is expected to begin accepting applications later this year, with pilot programs launching in the U.S. and the U.K. before expanding globally.

Fleetwood and Korda’s efforts are a powerful reminder that while golf may be a game, the impact it can have on young lives is very real.
