Golfer Collin Morikawa Pledge To Assist La Wildfire Victims

Golfer Collin Morikawa had decided to donate 1 000 per birdie throughout the FedEx Cup Playoffs that year. Hes bringing back that pledge at this weeks Genesis Invitational, which was moved from Los Angeles to San Diego due to last months fires in L.A . Morikawa pledged 1 000 per birdie and 2,000 per eagle, between his last tournament and the Genesis to the California Community Foundation and the L.A. Fire Department Foundation. Morikawa said the motives for his gesture are to do a little bit of support and just create awareness Weve seen this too often. I think even with the most recent one for me that hit home was the Lahaina fires. Fires happen. People kind of forget and then you move on to the next cycle. I realize thats how news and media work, but for how big of an impact Los Angeles has gone through with everything with the fires, you just have to keep creating awareness as much as you can. Its amazing to help out in my little bit and, hopefully, we make a lot of birdies starting Thursday.
