Balls for Birdies, an initiative created in 2024 by the DP World Tour’s Title and Official Logistics Partner, DP World, will continue for the 2025 Race to Dubai season after a highly successful roll-out last year.
The project has seen DP World donate one golf ball for every birdie, two balls for every eagle, and 100 balls for every albatross made during a DP World Tour tournament. DP World has partnered with various grassroots projects around the world to receive these new balls, including the Junior Golf Foundation in Kenya, the South African Disabled Golf Association, Golf Foundation India and the UK Women’s Golf Community.
During the 2024 DP World Tour season there were 63,341 birdies, 1,894 eagles and 2 albatrosses. As a result, DP World used its global logistics expertise to travel over 60,000km and has now delivered over 350,000 golf balls and other equipment to grassroots projects worldwide. The top contributor last season from the DP World Tour membership was South African Casey Jarvis, with 498 birdies and 17 eagles.
The initiative builds on DP World’s unique Second Life Container campaign which has collected and donated the growing total of 350,000 lost and unwanted golf balls over the past few years, further helping to grow the game of golf globally.
