When you hear stories such as that, it makes it so worthwhile."

  <description>"We love the fact that there are players who are different races, different nationalities, different cultures, backgrounds, sexual orientation, and gender identities too. I identify as a gay male, but I'm much more than that. Being able to be myself and have some of that awareness because I know when I was in high school, I would have loved to see anybody, whether it's somebody running a tournament I was playing in or a PGA or LPGA Tour player, who is out, living their life and being who they truly are. So we're able to let these teens know that it's okay to be yourself and swing your swing and play your game."

    <![CDATA[<p>&quot;We love the fact that there are players who are different races, different nationalities, different cultures, backgrounds, sexual orientation, and gender identities too. I identify as a gay male, but I&#39;m much more than that. Being able to be myself and have some of that awareness because I know when I was in high school, I would have loved to see anybody, whether it&#39;s somebody running a tournament I was playing in or a PGA or LPGA Tour player, who is out, living their life and being who they truly are. So we&#39;re able to let these teens know that it&#39;s okay to be yourself and swing your swing and play your game.&quot;</p>
