Several companies have found ways to give back amid the coronavirus pandemic. From golf companies like Seamus, Rhoback and Straight Down producing masks for healthcare workers to Linksoul’s creative T-shirt design raising over $100,000 for relief efforts, there is no shortage of ways to give back.
Though you always have the option to donate directly to coronavirus relief organizations, several golf brands are encouraging customers to shop with a purpose through sales, deals and fundraising efforts. Here are some of the ones we’ve heard about.
