Jordan Spieth’s Charitable Youth Golf Tournament Returns as His Foundation Tops $10M in Giving
The Dallas native’s Crush It! Cup tees off this fall while the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation celebrates a milestone endowment to Children’s Health.
The second edition of the Crush It! Cup is scheduled for Nov. 17 at Gleneagles Golf & Country Club in Plano, a collaboration between Invited—a leading owner and operator of membership clubs—and three-time major champion Jordan Spieth.
The youth tournament, which debuted in 2024, invites junior golfers from Invited clubs across the country to raise money for the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation through an extensive golf marathon fundraiser. Last year’s inaugural event featured 36 participants and generated more than $250,000 with help from Invited. This fall, 40 juniors from 57 clubs in 18 states will tee it up after collectively playing more than 15,000 holes and raising $118,000 this summer.
“If more kids get involved and keep pushing each other to play more holes, while also learning about philanthropy and integrity, I think we’ll surpass the $250,000 milestone this year,” Spieth told D CEO. “That’s what we’ll strive for year after year.”
Spieth’s philanthropic journey began early in his golf career. His younger sister, who has special needs, helped shape his perspective on service and inspired one of the foundation’s four mission pillars—which include serving individuals with special needs, junior golfers, military families and veterans, and pediatric cancer patients.
His Jesuit education, he said, reinforced that commitment. “Their motto is Men for Others, and community service is built into everything,” Spieth said. “That instilled in me the importance of giving your time, not just money. Once I got on the PGA Tour, charity was everywhere—it just became natural.”
Alongside his wife, Annie—who has built her career in the nonprofit space—and a small team running the day-to-day operation, Spieth says his foundation is now focused on “bigger, longer-term partnerships.”
Since its founding a decade ago, the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation has donated more than $10 million to causes within its four pillars. That milestone was reached this year in part through the foundation’s first-ever endowment, supporting pediatric cancer research at Children’s Health in Dallas.
“I’ve never been one to focus on the dollar amounts we’ve given, but milestones like this deserve to be celebrated—especially because so much of it comes from the amazing people who support our foundation,” Spieth said. “That was our first endowment, and hopefully the first of many. The idea is to build long-term partnerships with organizations we really believe in.”
Looking ahead, Spieth says junior golf accessibility remains a priority. While the Crush It! Cup is anchored in Invited clubs, the foundation could explore ways to reach underserved communities through programs, indoor facilities, or partnerships with other athletes.
“While we may not replicate the Crush It! Cup exactly in underserved communities right now, we’re always looking for ways to make the game more accessible,” he said. “This format has been a really cool way to get kids involved, and I think it could definitely inspire us to shape something similar both within and outside of Invited clubs.”

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
