No matter how great your venue is or how perfect the date, players are essential for the success of your charity golf tournament. Most of the time, golf players are drawn to your event for several reasons; they typically not only support the organization to which your tournament is donating money, but also have a desire to play more golf than they normally would and appreciate the chance to win prizes for their participation.

Since the reasoning behind player involvement is so varied, your charity tournament must fulfill more than just the basic requirements of a good cause and location. Prior to the event, make sure you advertise the great prizes available to players in addition to advertising the organization you’re supporting and the venue. Make registration easy and fast so players can join with minimal disruption to their lives, and create a committee responsible for bringing in players.

Beyond this, consider adding players to the sponsorship options at your event. The benefits of doing this are twofold: it not only brings more players to your event, but also makes sponsorship more attractive.
