Smash For Success
Driving Futures Ahead
Smash for Success is Smash GC's headline community initiative designed to empower young people through golf to enable them to achieve success both on-and-off course.
During the 2023 season, Smash GC invited junior golfers to each American event. The junior golfers selected to join Smash GC at each one came from under-represented communities and were students who normally wouldn’t have received an opportunity like this.
In the 2024 season, we announced our commitment to giving back with a Smash for Success Scholarship and Mentor of the Year Award, which was won by Isaac Westbrook.
Isaac's academic achievements and dedication to the values of integrity, discipline, and respect set him apart from other applicants.
"Golf is more than just a game; it's a platform for personal and professional growth," said Smash GC Captain, Brooks Koepka. "Isaac Westbrook exemplifies the spirit and values of the Smash for Success program and we are proud to support him in his academic journey.”
Unique Benefits
As part of the Smash for Success program, Isaac enjoyed several unique benefits designed to inspire his future endeavors including a VIP experiences at LIV Golf's Houston event in June 2024.
He had the extraordinary opportunity to play in the pro-am alongside Talor Gooch, and spend time with the entire Smash GC team, gaining insights and advice from professional golfers.
In addition to this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Isaac received a scholarship to use towards tuition and educational costs.
As the inaugural recipient of the Smash for Success Scholarship, Isaac is expected to return to a LIV Golf tournament in 2025 to share his experiences and insights from his first year at Clemson University, inspiring the next generation of scholarship recipients.
