Former commissioner Tim Finchem donates $13 million as PGA Tour reshapes its charity strategy‎

Ten years after he retired as commissioner, Tim Finchem and his wife are donating $13 million to help launch a new charity strategy at a time when so much emphasis in golf is on profit in the new commercial enterprise of the PGA Tour. The tour on Monday revealed plans for PGA Tour Charities ahead of the season-ending Tour Championship, which has a $40 million purse that awards $10 million to the winner. Along with building its charity strategy around national campaigns with a more local impact, the PGA Tour is prepared to make up any difference, if needed, to maintain charity levels from tournaments that move down to the Challenger Series in the 2028 schedule.
