Brandt Snedeker Honoured with 2024 Payne Stewart Award for Charitable Contributions

Posted : 07 August 2024

Brandt Snedeker, a golfer with nine PGA Tour victories, has been honored with the 2024 Payne Stewart Award. His foundation is known for supporting youth initiatives both socially and athletically. The award, given annually, celebrates a player who embodies the late Payne Stewart's reverence for the game's traditions and dedication to maintaining golf's charitable legacy.

 

In a PGA Tour news release, Snedeker expressed his gratitude for receiving the award, calling it an "amazing honor and privilege." He shared a personal connection to Stewart, noting that his family is from Springfield, Missouri, Stewart's hometown. Snedeker admired Stewart growing up, and having his name on the same trophy is a remarkable achievement for him. He reflected on the significance of the award, emphasizing that it recognizes not only a player's skill but also their character.

 

The PGA Tour highlighted Snedeker's victory at the 2012 Tour Championship, which included a $10 million bonus. This financial windfall enabled Snedeker and his wife, Mandy, to establish the Snedeker Foundation shortly thereafter. The foundation has since been dedicated to various youth-oriented causes, reinforcing Snedeker's commitment to giving back to the community.

 

Snedeker will be formally recognized on August 27 at the Payne Stewart Award Ceremony, which coincides with the Tour Championship. The award commemorates Payne Stewart, an 11-time PGA Tour winner, including three major championships, who tragically died in a plane crash in 1999.
