When Dechambeau won last year, it immediately became evident that he would support Shriners Hospitals.
“Shriners Hospitals is honestly why we’re all here,” Dechambeau said in November. “They’re all such an inspiration. I’m very, very blessed and fortunate that I have great health, so to see (the Shriners kids) out here still persevering in their own way and being able to support and volunteer for the PGA Tour is more inspirational than me winning.”
Shriners Open tournament director Patrick Lindsey attended the foundation event.
“We admire Bryson DeChambeau’s passion and commitment to the Shriners Hospitals for Children, and having a past champion so engaged with the mission of the tournament has been a goal of the Shriners since they took over the event in 2008,” Lindsey said.
