DALLAS, TX (July 2, 2024) – Invited, the largest owner and operator of membership clubs, and Jordan Spieth, three-time major winner and Invited’ partner and brand ambassador, today unveiled the Crush It! Cup, a youth golf tournament and fundraiser, which will take place on September 16, 2024 at Brookhaven Country Club in Dallas, Texas. 

Crush It! Cup will feature 36 top juniors from Invited Clubs nationwide, who will earn their spot in the tournament by participating in a two-month long Golf Marathon Fundraiser to raise funds for the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation.

During Crush It! Cup, Spieth will play one hole alongside each junior player and after the tournament, a hole at the course he grew up playing on will be transformed into an art installation themed after a pivotal moment in Spieth’s golf career. Spieth will also host a golf clinic for top 100 fundraisers, PGA Junior League attendees and charitable invitees; as well as a Fireside chat during which he will share a unique glimpse into his golf journey that started at Brookhaven.

Created by Invited in 2020, Crush It! is an esteemed and nationally recognized junior golf program, which over the years has provided opportunities for thousands of junior golfers to participate in golf instruction and learn skills that transfer on and off the course. The Crush It! Junior Golf Marathon has officially kicked off with fundraising efforts at 150 of Invited Golf and Country Clubs in 26 states. The golf marathon provides a unique opportunity for junior golfers to compete for a spot in the Crush It! Cup and play alongside Spieth, celebrating the sport of golf, while fostering a spirit of community and philanthropy among its young participants.

Dallas-native Spieth was introduced to the game of golf at Invited first club – Brookhaven, which opened in 1957.  Joey Anders, Spieth’s first golf coach, a PGA Class A pro who was named one of the 50 Top U.S. Kids Instructors in North America, leads Brookhaven’s youth golf instruction to this day.

“Together with Invited, we are excited to launch the Crush It! Cup and create a unique opportunity for juniors to celebrate the game of golf while giving them a platform to raise money for important causes and create positive impact in their communities,” said Jordan Spieth. “We are proud to support these young athletes and provide them a memorable experience, and hopefully be a part of their lifelong commitment to the game of golf. It is of course even more special to me that this event is taking place at Brookhaven Country Club, where it all started for me.”

Spieth joined Invited in 2022 as a strategic advisor, brand ambassador, and a partner on a series of charitable and community initiatives, benefitting youth organizations, pediatric cancer research, American veterans and military families.

Invited, formerly ClubCorp, is a lifestyle hospitality brand founded in 1957 on the traditions and values of acceptance. Invited extends its unique brand of hospitality across 170 owned and operated golf and country clubs, as well as city clubs in 26states.
