"We wanted to share a quick update and a heartfelt thank you for your generous support.  Thanks to the Rotary Club of St Andrews, this year’s Phoenix Cup was a real success.  Europe came out on top with a score of 14.5 to 9.5, but the real victory was something much bigger.  The event helped us shine a brighter light on the Phoenix Cup, open the door to more disabled players, and show just how many opportunities the game can offer.  More than 40 players took part across both teams, including over 20 newcomers to the Phoenix community, with ages ranging from 17 to 75.  Your support is helping us break down barriers and make the game more accessible for everyone."

“As a Board of Directors Executive at North American One-Armed Golfer Association (Engagement, Growth & Fundraising) and Co-Captain of Team USA at the 2026 Phoenix Cup, I am honored to use this signed St. Andrew’s flag to create opportunities for the next generation of adaptive golfers. It will be used in our silent auction at our upcoming fundraising event August 1st. There’s no doubt this is going to be one of the most popular items available!  We sincerely appreciate this generous and thoughtful gift!”

“On behalf of the ABG and all our members and supporters at the thirty second Phoenix Cup in Wadsworth Ohio, we want to thank Tom Brown and his fellow Rotarians, along with David Scott from Dumbarnie and his colleagues at the R and A and the PGA, for their very generous donation. Jim presented the picture on the morning of the Singles competition at the Phoenix Cup and used the moment to recognize everyone involved while the largest crowds were present. Working with our hosts at Pine Valley and our charity partners, we will use the donation to support golf for people with disabilities at the local, national, and future international levels. Thank you very much.”

The Phoenix team is once again grateful to our Ambassador Gianna Rojas for continuing to support golfing members with disabilities and their coaches.  Most recently at the Pine Valley Phoenix, another substantial  donation was used to provide celebratory food and drinks for the team and the remaining funds were combined with a second fund, to set up a Hub at the Home of Golf for some beginners and newbies to the game.  Thank you!
