Why it matters

More than a game.

Camaraderie across borders

Ukrainian veterans of the Russo-Ukrainian War play alongside British veterans — building sincere connection, friendship, and a shared brotherhood of service.

Recovery through sport

For veterans healing from wounds and trauma, a day on the course is more than a game — it's psychological recovery, confidence, and a step back into life.

A positive face of Ukraine

The tournament shows the world that Ukrainians are strong, rational people — not the caricature Russian propaganda paints.

Growing the game

Popularising golf in Ukraine — and giving wounded and adaptive athletes a sport they can carry into the future.

The Freedom Award moment

The moment

Play with legends. Honour a hero.

Ukrainian veterans tee off with UK football legends, present the Freedom Award, and carry their stories from the battlefield to the heart of London. Every fourball funds a veteran's journey and recovery.

£1,333 sponsors one Ukrainian veteran — their travel, their place in the tournament, and their seat at the Summit.
