Golf’s Biggest Stars Compete in ‘Chipping All-In’ Charity Poker Tournament Thursday, April 16
Some of golf’s biggest names will take their talents from the fairway to the felt (virtually) Thursday, April 16 for the Chipping All-In charity poker tournament. Cards will fly beginning at noon PST, giving fans the opportunity to watch their favorite golfers, including Jimmy Walker, Michelle Wie, John Daly and more compete in a live online Texas Hold’em tournament.
Event proceeds will go to the MGM Resorts Foundation’s Employee Emergency Grant Fund, which provides employees and their immediate families with short-term relief in making payments or to meet obligations during unexpected hardships and emergencies.
The fund is designed to assist those impacted by the coronavirus, including full-time employees, on-call employees and those facing layoff, separation or furlough. Presented by MGM Resorts, Loaded and the World Poker Tour® (WPT®), Chipping All-In will feature an interactive broadcast on Twitch (Twitch.tv/AllStarPass) and YouTube (YouTube.com/AllStarPass).
Audience members can make real-time donations at www.mgmresorts.com/ChippingAllin. Participants will give personal shout outs to viewers who donate. Chipping All-In will divide the players among multiple tables with the top finishers from each advancing to the final table. Live player audio throughout the tournament will create an immersive experience for viewers.
Additionally, viewers will be able to engage with the players during a live Q&A.
