A WIN FOR ZURICH GOLF AMBASSADOR COLLIN MORIKAWA
Congratulations to Zurich Golf Ambassador Collin Morikawa, who won the 2020 PGA Championship by two strokes at TPC Harding Park on Aug. 9.
Already a three-time PGA TOUR event winner in just 29 starts, Morikawa has more wins than missed cuts in his short career. At age 23 years, six months and three days, he becomes the third-youngest PGA Championship winner since World War II, behind only Rory McIlroy and Jack Nicklaus. Tiger Woods also won a PGA at age 23.
"I love golf. I love every part of it," Morikawa told PGATOUR.com. "I love being in this position and I love just being able to come out here and play with a bunch of guys that love the sport, too."
The 2020 Zurich Classic of New Orleans was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, that didn’t stop Zurich North America, the PGA TOUR and the Fore!Kids Foundation from teaming up to ensure that Louisiana nonprofits didn’t miss out on the charitable funding that the event typically generates to benefit local charities via ticket sales and food and beverage purchases.
Zurich will provide full financial support of more than $1.5 million to the Fore!Kids Foundation. The total will match 2019’s direct tournament donations. Annual funds from the Zurich Classic of New Orleans to the Fore!Kids Foundation are remarkably far-reaching and go toward such efforts as tearing down and rebuilding homes, providing food to those in need, and funding children’s service organizations.
While we look forward to the 2021 Zurich Classic, we celebrate its enduring charitable impact in the most challenging of times.
