In an interview with Luckiest Golfers on Earth, the Oklahoma golfer was asked what his contribution would be to his foundation after having a record year. Talor Gooch revealed that he doesn’t know how much he will give to his foundation from his earnings but that it will be more. This is because his earnings this year are a surprise to him.

“So, we’ve done a great job of building partners and organizations that we help and we’re going to continue to support…just in a bigger way,” he said. Gooch is yet undecided on the detailed plan for his foundation.
The golfer further spoke about the day’s play at the recently concluded LIV Golf Jeddah 2023, while mentioning his captain Bubba Watson.

Talor went on to sing praises for RangeGoats FC chief Bubba Watson. “Bubba played great golf today. It was cool to see him after not playing, you know, great throughout the year. When we needed him the most, he came through and had the round of the day,” he said.
Gooch added, “Unfortunately, on a day like today, you gotta go out there and play a great round to beat all these great dudes. And we didn’t get it done. But it just gives us something to strive for next season.” Talor is thinking of his team and not individually, even with his individual earnings at a record high. It’s a good mindset for a champion.
