The golfers met in the Bahamas to raise money for the Bryson DeChambeau Foundation. DeChambeau shared the memories from the event with the public through his social media.

The Foundation works for the betterment and to support the Junior golf initiatives to grow the game, health, and education. According to DeChambeau’s Instagram caption, the annual event helped raise $350,000 for different charity foundations, including the National Kidney Foundation and Shriner’s Children’s Hospital.

Notably, it has been only two weeks since he had wrist surgery to mend his injury. The golfer didn’t play the majority of the events since the new year had begun. The 2022 Masters was only his third start this year, as he was constantly battling his wrist and hip injuries.

Since the golfers were raising money, the event was that the highest bidder would get to play with their favorite golfer. According to the Story Lexi Thompson shared on her Instagram, the LPGA pro helped raise $45k at the event. The Story has since vanished from her account since it has a time limit of 24hrs.

The famous television presenter Chris Harrison had originally shared the Story on his account, which she shared again. The content of the Story was as follows:

“GETTING TO $23K TO PLAY GROVE XXIII WITHT THE AMAZING @lexi but it actually went for $45K!!! Great Fun at @brysondechambeau foundation event.”
