This year, the BMW PGA Championship is not only a tournament of superlatives but also a stage for big hearts: Justin Rose and his Kate & Justin Rose Foundation are using the spotlight at Wentworth to showcase their incredible work for children. While balls fly on the green, they are making a clear statement for social impact – and that's DELOFTED.
Over 4,497 children across the UK have already benefited from the Foundation's projects and partnerships. A significant milestone that is now being celebrated during the Championship. Rose himself is, of course, also competing and is engaged in a gripping battle with the cut on the course, standing at +1 after round one. But the real story unfolds off the fairways, where the Foundation demonstrates how professional golf can have an impact beyond the sport.
A Fairway for the Future
For years, the Kate & Justin Rose Foundation has focused on giving children a better perspective. The BMW PGA Championship thus becomes a showcase for the immense impact achieved by the foundation. It's more than just charity; it's a demonstration of how elite athletes use their reach to truly make a difference.
Fighting Spirit On and Off the Green
While Justin Rose puts the Foundation in the spotlight, he also has to cope with a change this week at Wentworth Club: His long-time caddie Mark Fulcher is out due to injury, and David Clark is stepping in for him. On the leaderboard, players like Aaron Rai and Joakim Lagergren are among the early leaders. But this week, Rose shows that you can score not only with powerful drives but also with a huge heart – that is golf with meaning.
