The watch is available for pre-order for $299.

Folds of Honor: Partners with PGA Tour player Patrick Cantlay and his caddie, Joe LaCava, to establish three Folds of Honor scholarships. In collaboration with the Patrick Cantlay Foundation, Folds of Honor will establish three scholarships that will be given to qualified recipients from first responder families in the name of Cantlay and LaCava. One scholarship will be awarded to a first responder family in California where Cantlay grew up, a second to a family in Connecticut where LaCava resides, and the final to a family in New York.

Smash GC: Launches the 2025 edition of its community impact initiative, Smash for Success — a program that uses golf to empower growth, opportunity and mentorship. In its first two years, the Smash for Success program welcomed over 75 junior golfers and 15 coaches from underrepresented communities to LIV Golf events across the U.S. and established two honors, the Smash for Success Scholarship and Mentor of the Year Award. Applications and nominations for both honors run through June 30, 2025, and forms can be found at the Smash GC section of the LIVGolf.com website.
