Some of golf’s biggest names will be “Chipping All-In” on Thursday in a live virtual poker tournament for a good cause.
Michelle Wie West, John Daly, Jimmy Walker, Harold Varner III, Brittany Lincicome, Collin Morikawa, Cristie Kerr, Lydia Ko and Kevin Na are among the list of golfers scheduled to compete to aid the MGM Resorts’ Employee Emergency Grant Fund for the company’s employees and community partners impacted by COVID-19.
The action starts at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday with proceeds aimed at providing: “employees and their immediate families with short-term relief in making payments or to meet obligations during unexpected hardships and emergencies. The fund is designed to assist those impacted by the coronavirus, including full-time employees, on-call employees and those facing layoff, separation or furlough.”
The World Poker Tour and Loaded are also in on the action, and the interactive Chipping All-In event will be shown on Twitch and Youtube. Viewers will be able to make real-time donations, with participants giving personal shout-outs to those who donate.
The interactive experience will also feature live audio throughout and a live Q&A will allow fans a chance to engage with the players.
