(May 13, 2020) – As Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson prepare to compete against Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff in raising funds for COVID-19 relief efforts during TaylorMade Driving Relief supported by UnitedHealth Group – the return of televised golf – on Sunday, May 17 at Seminole Golf Club, fans at home will be able to contribute to the fundraising efforts thanks to PGA TOUR Charities through online donations and Text-To-Give options powered by GoFundMe. For an option to support COVID-19 relief within Canada, golf fans are encouraged to consider a contribution to Canadian front line healthcare workers with a donation to The FrontLine Fund. The FrontLine Fund provides a way for Canadians to donate money that will go directly to more than 160 participating hospitals battling COVID-19 from the front lines across the country.

The team of McIlroy-Johnson will compete on behalf of the American Nurses Foundation while Fowler-Wolff play for the CDC Foundation. Farmers Insurance® also pledged $1 million to back a birdies-and-eagle pool to benefit Off Their Plate, a fundraising initiative through World Central Kitchen that helps both frontline COVID-19 healthcare workers and impacted restaurant shift employees. PGA TOUR Charities’ online fundraiser is now live on GoFundMe, where fans around the world can come together and donate to support additional COVID-19 relief efforts in conjunction with TaylorMade Driving Relief, building upon the event’s initial $4 million raised. While enjoying the first live golf event since March, golf fans from British Columbia to Newfoundland are encouraged to consider the FrontLine Fund (https://www.frontlinefund.ca/#donation-form) as an impactful Canadian charitable option providing support for COVID-19 front line workers.
