One of the best ways charities can raise money is by holding a celebrity Golf tournament. A well known figure in the world of sports or entertainment usually puts his or her name on the event. These days it seems like everyone from country stars like Vince Gill and Dwight Yoakem to football coaches like Urban Myer and Tom Coughlin, are holding charity golf tournaments. Almost all of the people who lend their name and time to the golf tournament are also avid golfers. The particular charity often has a special meaning to them. Perhaps their child has Autism and so they raise money for research of that condition by holding a golf tournament.
Money is raised in several different ways. First of all, are the corporate sponsors. They may pledge $100,000 or more to be a sponsor of the event. Usually a good charity golf tournament will have at least a half dozen big corporate sponsors. Smaller events may get local businesses as sponsors, but they generally contribute less than the national corporations.
Another means of raising funds is the player entry fees. Celebrities and non-celebrities may have to pay a few hundred dollars or more to enter and play in the tournament. Some of the entry fee money passes on to the charity. Fans of golf and celebrities are always anxious to get a chance to play along side of their favorite stars.
A third and very important way that a charity golf tournament raises money is through the admission paid by the fans. There are also concession stands selling food and refreshment and sometimes there is a separate Hole-in-One contest where for a dollar or two you get a chance to win a new car or similarly valueable prize. Tickets can range from about twenty dollars to several hundred dollars. Again the charity gets a cut of the money raised.
The next time you see a charity golf tournament advertised in your area, why not go out and support a good cause. You’ll spend a few hours in a nice environment and maybe even get a celebrity to autograph your golf ball!
Money can be donated to charity in many ways. You can set up a standing order direct from your account to pay regularly to your chosen charity. Contact the charity to ask for their account details then ask your bank to set up the order.

Good Question. There are several reasons, the two most important probably being that there are already a lot of international tournaments for golf and that there are only a few real golf "superstars", and most may not be able to show up, or not want to miss another tournament, etc.
