Scottie Scheffler stunned the golf world when he turned down a sponsorship deal worth more than $100 million from a major sports brand, to found the “Fairway to Dreams” foundation himself – a non-profit organization that builds free golf courses and provides full scholarships to disadvantaged children in rural areas of the United States. When asked why he passed up such a huge sum, Scheffler calmly replied: “I was a kid with no clubs, no coach, just a dream. If I don’t go back to help kids like me, what does all of today’s success mean?”
