NBA superstar LeBron James is set to host a golf tournament for youth and aspiring professionals in his hometown of Ohio, USA.
According to the Associated Press, the "LeBron James Family Foundation Invitational" will feature a mentorship program alongside the tournament on July 6 and 7 next year at the Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio.
The mentorship program, "I Promise," conducted in partnership with the PGA Tour, introduces children to golf and provides opportunities for players aiming to advance to the APGA Tour, which supports Black and minority golfers.
James, who transferred to the Philadelphia 76ers ahead of the 2026-2027 season, recently launched a YouTube golf channel and posted videos of his golf trip to Scotland with former Cleveland Cavaliers teammates.
In a press release, James said, "I have witnessed firsthand how sports can open doors of opportunity for children," adding, "This program will support talented players and give me the opportunity to continue investing in Akron, a city that means so much to me."
