Major champions Jimmy Walker, Michelle Wie, John Daly and more ante up to raise money for MGM Resorts’ Employee Emergency Grant Fund in support of company’s employees and community partners impacted by COVID-19
(LAS VEGAS) – Some of golf’s biggest names will take their talents from the fairway to the felt (virtually) Thursday, April 16 for the Chipping All-In charity poker tournament. Cards will fly beginning at noon PST, giving fans the opportunity to watch their favorite golfers, including Jimmy Walker, Michelle Wie, John Daly and more compete in a live online Texas Hold’em tournament. Event proceeds will go to the MGM Resorts Foundation’s Employee Emergency Grant Fund, which provides 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.
Chipping All-In will divide the players among multiple tables with the top finishers from each advancing to the final table. Live player audio throughout the tournament will create an immersive experience for viewers. Additionally, viewers will be able to engage with the players during a live Q&A.
Lance Evans, senior vice president of Sports and Sponsorships for MGM Resorts, said, “It is in our DNA to offer live entertainment and sports experiences to fans worldwide, even in the toughest of times. ‘Chipping All-In’ will feature some of the world's top PGA and LPGA players as well as sports and media personalities playing in support of the Employee Emergency Grant Fund.”

This is a good idea. Golfers have many fans, so this broadcast will be a success regardless of additional donations. I believe that many aspiring poker players are a little jealous of how quickly the audience of these tournaments is gaining. I know a couple of good players who needed to buy twitch viewers to raise your rating. This is a common situation for those who want to stand out from the crowd.
