Mike Weir bringing Miracle Golf Drive to town
While he continues to chase titles and major championships, Mike Weir says he will not forget to shift gears to raising awareness and funds for children’s health issues.
Weir announced via conference call this morning that he’ll be staging a Mike Weir Miracle Drive for Kids event at St. Charles Country Club on June 7, all in support of the Childrens’ Hospital Foundation of Manitoba.
It’s the fourth Miracle Drive for Kids tournament since the endeavour began in 2007 with a goal of raising $10 million across Canada for children’s health care causes. Previously, Weir held events in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia and the first $2 million has been raised.
The 30th-ranked player in the world and eight-time PGA Tour winner will fit the 2010 event into next year’s schedule on the Monday right after the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio, and about 10 days before the U.S. Open.
The day-long tournament will include golf at St. Charles with an opportunity for the 2003 Masters champion to play a few holes with different teams, a pro-am for juniors, a clinic given by Weir and a gala dinner open to the public.
It figures to be a big year for golf stars and children’s health-care charities in Winnipeg.
Later in the summer, the stars of the LPGA Tour will descend on St. Charles for the CN Canadian Women’s Open, and even that also raises large amounts of money for children’s hospitals.
