A History of giving

The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship is a unique event on the DP World 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
  • James Kingston Foundation
  • New St. Andrews Japan Golf Trust
  • On Course Foundation
  • Prostate Cancer
  • Robert T Jones Memorial Trust
  • St Andrews Pilgrim Foundation
  • Scottish Blind Golf Society

  • Steve Waugh Foundation
  • The Firefighters Charity – UK
  • Tour Players Foundation
  • University of St Andrews
  • Vita Start Cricketers Charity in support of the Jacques Kallis Foundation and Youth Focus

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.
