A History of giving
The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship is a unique event on the European Tour which brings together a high class field of professional golfers with some of the most enthusiastic and famous amateurs from around the world.
There are many things which bind the professionals and amateurs together: love of golf, the remarkable camaraderie of a team championship, and the chance to play sport on a world stage.
But for all the golfers who tee up each year, the opportunity to do something significant to support those less fortunate than themselves and the chance to leave a positive legacy behind is just as important.
This powerful emotion has resulted in a history of giving which has characterised the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at all levels since its inception in 2001. Among the charitable causes which have benefited are:
- Autism Speaks
- Beefy’s Charity Foundation
- Blood Brothers
- Clarke & Botham Invitational
- Dr Ernest L Ransome III Scholarship Trust
- Ernie Els and Fancourt Foundation
- Ernie Els for Autism
- European Disabled Golf Association
- Families First St Andrews
- Fife Athletic Club
- Help for Heroes
- Home Start – East Fife
- Imibala

Hopefully funds will continue to grow in the future, and the Alfred Dunhill Links Foundation will be able to continue to support a range of charities that can do good in so many varied ways.
