In the lead up to LIV Golf’s season-ending Team Championship, LIV Golf announced support for 13 charitable organizations serving the Miami area and surrounding South Florida communities. The support is part of LIV to Give, LIV Golf’s non-profit impact platform announced in June to establish and strengthen a range of initiatives, including education and youth development, sustainability, and programs that enhance the wellbeing of communities around the world.
Earlier this month, LIV Golf extended its support to disaster relief efforts to help Floridians impacted by Hurricane Ian. This week, LIV Golf will continue to support families affected by the hurricane through fan engagement at the tournament, where 54% of revenue generated through team merchandise sales, as well as funds raised through chipping challenges and activations in the Fan Village, will be contributed to hurricane relief.
'Loves ones'
“It’s been a challenging time for so many Floridians, including our neighbours and loved ones,” said LIV Golf President & COO Atul Khosla. “Not only is Florida host to the LIV Golf Team Championship this week, but LIV calls Florida home and many of our employees and golfers are Floridians. LIV to Give is proud to partner with organizations committed to real impact in the Sunshine State.”
This week, LIV Golf is extending support to the following charities through LIV to Give:
• Amigos for Kids: Expanding after-school programs and summer camp programs

Lynn Rehabilitation Center and the Miami VA Hospital in partnership with Adaptive Golfers, a non-profit that empowers individuals with a range of cognitive, physical, sensory, and health-related challenges to use the game of golf as a tool to improve the quality of their lives. On Friday, LIV Golf hosted the Hispanic Women’s Society Network of the South Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for a networking event and golf clinic hosted by players Abraham Ancer and Carlos Ortiz.
