The Gary Player Invitational series at Wentworth is the second tournament of the four-tournament Gary Player Invitational series, which also includes tournaments in the United States, China and South Africa.
This year’s Gary Player Invitational series celebrates not only The Player Foundation’s 30th anniversary, but also Gary Player’s 60th year as a professional golfer.
Over the last 30 years, The Player Foundation has been able to raise over $50 million USD to support underprivileged children around the world.
Funds from this year’s Invitational at Wentworth Golf Club will benefit BerenbergKids, which is a partnership with Berenberg that supports the Demelza Hospice Care for Children and its care of over 700 life-limited children and their families.
Like so many others, Ronan Keating is a longstanding supporter of the Gary Player Invitational series and is passionate about the work that is being done by The Player Foundation around the world.
Alongside Keating will be his former Westlife band member Brian McFadden, who made his debut at the South Africa Gary Player Invitational last year.
