“The success of this premier golf tournament is built on community support, so we feel that the best way to give back to the Charleston area is through direct charitable donation of our ticket proceeds,” commented Kevin Canning, Nationwide Tour Championship at Daniel Island Tournament Director. “With the potent combination of world class golf and our TICKETS Fore CHARITY™ partner organizations’ word-of-mouth marketing, we’re confident this event will raise significant funds for a great number of worthy organizations throughout the Lowcountry.”
