Tiger Woods offers putting lesson, VIP experience at 2020 Hero World Challenge for All In Challenge

As part of the All In Challenge, Tiger Woods is offering a putting lesson and VIP experience at the 2020 Hero World Challenge.

No matter how good you are on the greens with the flatstick, chances are your putting game could use some help.

What if I told you a 15-time major champion and 82-time PGA Tour winner was offering a lesson? And to sweeten the pot, how about two VIP tickets to this year’s Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas?

All of that is up for grabs thanks to Tiger Woods.

The No. 11-ranked player in the world took to Twitter on Friday morning to announce he had accepted the All In Challenge, which, according to its web site, “aims to be the world’s largest digital fundraiser in history by raising tens of millions of dollars to feed those in need.”

All of the money raised will go directly to Feeding America, Meals on Wheels, World Central Kitchen and No Kid Hungry.

Here’s where you can bid and what’s included in the auction:

  • All-expenses paid trip to 2020 Hero World Challenge, including a private flight to and from the Bahamas, where you’ll stay at the Baha Mar resort Nov. 30 – Dec. 6.

Russell Wilson and Ciara auction off double date for charity

Seahawks QB Russell Wilson and his wife Ciara are auctioning off a double date with them through Fanatics’ All In Challenge.

Seattle Seahawks star quarterback Russell Wilson and his wife, Grammy-award winning singer Ciara, are continuing to find innovative ways to help the Seattle community, many who are suffering thanks to the stay-at-home order in response to COVID-19.

After pledging meals to feed the needy, Wilson and Ciara are now taking part in the All In Challenge, an auction event sponsored by Fanatics that is donating 100% of the proceeds to Feeding America, Meals On Wheels, World Central Kitchen and No Kid Hungry.

The auction item up for bid is a double date with Wilson and Ciara, where they will agree to take the winner and one guest to dinner at one of their favorite restaurants. The winner will be flown out to the destination by Wilson and Ciara – via Wheels Up, another of Wilson’s charitable endeavors.

Wilson and Ciara announced the auction on Twitter, with Wilson extending the challenge to another pair of celebrity couples: former baseball star Alex Rodriguez and singer/actress Jennifer Lopez, as well as singer John Legend and model/actress Chrissy Teigen.

The bidding began at $10,000 dollars, and was already up over double that at the time of this writing.

Tom Brady wants to challenge Roger Goodell … but it’s for a good cause

Tom Brady took to his Instagram today to announce his involvement in the All In Challenge to raise money during the coronavirus crisis.

It’s not secret that Bucs quarterback Tom Brady and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell have had their share of disagreements. The whole Deflategate scandal involving Brady and the New England Patriots created a divide between the future Hall of Famer and the commish, especially after Brady was handed a four-game suspension, which he eventually served at the start of the 2016 season.

But time heals all wounds, and with the world working to combat the coronavirus pandemic, Brady is letting bygones be bygones in order to bring help to those in need. Brady took to his Instagram today to post a video, announcing he’s taking part in the All In Challenge, an online auction where all proceeds go to helping those in need during this difficult time. Celebrities like Brady have put up items for auction with the goal of reaching $100 million.

Check out Brady’s video below to hear what he’s offering, and see who he challenges to take part in the auction.

Your move, Goodell!

Bubba Watson, NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin join All In Challenge

PGA Tour star Bubba Watson and Denny Hamlin are joining the All In Challenge, offering up a few prizes of their own.

Bubba Watson and Denny Hamlin are in.

The PGA Tour star and NASCAR driver joined the the All In Challenge by donating to the digital fundraiser with the goal of raising $100 million to feed those in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the fundraiser totaled over $3.8 million.

“We all know that this coronavirus has affected millions of people all over the world, and I’m going to try to do my part to help pitch in and raise tens of millions of dollars to feed families in need,” Hamlin said in his video promoting the campaign.

Watson is offering a foursome at Michael Jordan’s private golf course, Grove XXIII, in Hobe Sound, Florida, alongside Hamlin. Along with the round at the exclusive course, Ping will give each winner a set of custom-fit clubs and Watson will offer each winner one of his rare watches. The two-time Masters winner dishes the details on the watch in his and Hamlin’s joint video announcement.

In addition to the foursome at Grove XXIII, Hamlin is offering a chance for one winner and three friends to attend the 2021 Daytona 500. The winner will have first-class travel and lodging along with a meet-and-greet and race-car ride on the Daytona track with Hamlin.

The winners also will have all-access hot passes, suite passes, four seats on top of the Fed-Ex pit box and a race-worn fire suit.

Funds from the campaign, which was started by Fanatics founder and executive chairman Michael Rubin, go toward students who rely on school for meals each week, the newly unemployed and the elderly who have little or no access to food.

Among those Watson and Hamlin challenged to take the next step are Mark Wahlberg, Justin Bieber, Ellen DeGeneres and NFL star Larry Fitzgerald.
