“We are excited to launch this unique program that directly supports the charitable mission of the LPGA tournaments,” states Gail Graham, retired LPGA professional and president of the LPGA Tournament Owners Association. “We are always looking for ways to get closer to our fans and this is a perfect and unique way to accomplish that, particularly with a player as popular as Natalie. As a Major, the tournament will be especially exciting, so the timing is excellent for launching Caddy For A Cure.”
Russ Holden, Caddy For A Cure founder and veteran PGA TOUR caddie added, “It is such an honor to be coming to this event with this wonderful opportunity with Natalie. To be able to launch our program at the LPGA Championship is a perfect fit given the charitable history and heart of Wegmans. We think it’s an especially exciting opportunity to be inside the ropes at a venue like Locust Hill which is deep in LPGA tournament history. The winning caddie will not only be shoulder to shoulder with Natalie, but will also be among the world’s best women golfers competing in this Major tournament.” He concluded, “We always look forward to providing our caddie participants with experiences they will never forget, and the Wegmans LPGA Championship will be just that. It’s a great way for fans to make a difference in the lives of many people who really need it through the great game of golf.”
