SOTOGRANDE, Spain \u2013 Ahead of LIV Golf Andaluc\u00eda, LIV Golf partnered with the Valderrama Foundation<\/a> and Fireballs GC to deliver a series of impactful community events. Driven by LIV For Good\u2014LIV Golf\u2019s Impact and Sustainability platform\u2014the week integrated marine conservation, hands-on golf instruction, and career development to inspire and empower the next generation of Spanish youth. These activations illustrated the intersection of LIV For Good\u2019s three core pillars: Game, Community, and Planet.<\/p>\n

The Valderrama Foundation Clinic & Career Development<\/p>\n

On Tuesday afternoon, June 2nd, LIV Golf and the Valderrama Foundation hosted a specialized golf clinic at the Real Club Valderrama practice range for six local youth receiving International School golf scholarships, which cover their education and tuition. Supported by LIV Golf Reserve player Max Rottluff\u2014and featuring special appearances by Fireballs GC Captain Sergio Garcia and Legion XIII Captain Jon Rahm\u2014participants received practical golf tips and guidance.<\/p>\n

Launching “From Tee to Sea” on World Oceans Day<\/p>\n

Following the Valderrama Foundation clinic, LIV Golf and Fireballs GC welcomed 100 local community members, including clinic participants and local youth, to Real Club Mar\u00edtimo Sotogrande to launch the team’s “From Tee to Sea” ocean protection platform. In celebration of World Oceans Day, Fireballs GC players Sergio Garcia, David Puig, Josele Ballester, and Luis Masaveu joined participants to tackle plastic pollution along the Sotogrande coastline. The collaborative beach cleanup directly supported marine conservation efforts, successfully removing 2,200 liters of residual waste and 1,100 liters of light packaging.<\/p>\n

The week’s impact extended into Wednesday, June 3rd, with LIV Golf\u2019s College, Career & Beyond (CC&B) program, which provided 15 local youth with a behind-the-scenes tour of tournament operations and a sports industry sustainability session.<\/p>\n

Building on these community activations, the tournament achieved significant sustainability milestones throughout the week. Notably, the integration of solar power saved over 3,700 liters of fuel, while the deployment of on-site hydration stations eliminated the use of nearly 10,000 single-use plastic water bottles. LIV Golf\u2019s circular economy and community support efforts also resulted in the donation of 950 lunches to the Yo Soy T\u00fa charity, 350 square meters and 1.2 metric tons of carpet to local community centers, and five children’s benches, toys, and instruments to a local school. Additionally, 1.2 metric tons of sand used for structural weights were repurposed by local greenkeepers.<\/p>\n

“Through LIV For Good, we’re using the unique power of golf to open doors,” said Jake Jones, SVP, Impact & Sustainability, LIV Golf. “Our work in Andaluc\u00eda\u2014from creating behind-the-scenes career pathways in sports to educating youth on coastal conservation\u2014ensures the next generation is taking away practical life lessons that extend far beyond the course.”<\/p>\n

Deepening Regional Connections\u00a0<\/p>\n

The event represented a homecoming for Fireballs GC\u2019s all-Spanish roster and Legion XIII’s Jon Rahm, headlining local Spanish talent at LIV Golf Andaluc\u00eda. Their involvement in youth clinics and the community beach cleanup ahead of event week underscores the impact LIV Golf\u2019s teams and players can have beyond the fairways, driving positive change in communities worldwide.<\/p>\n
