Hewlett Packard Enterprise donated $500 for every birdie, or better, score made on the par-5, 13th hole during the three competition rounds. PGA TOUR Champions pros racked up 78 birdies throughout the event to raise a total of $39,000.

“We are proud to make a positive impact on more children and families in Southern Texas with this annual fundraising effort as a key sponsor of the Insperity Invitational,” said Kara Long, SVP of Global Sales Operations, Hewlett Packard Enterprise. “We believe in the power of sport to unite us and make our communities stronger. We are grateful to the PGA TOUR Champions professionals for helping raise these funds.”

Led by an unmatched volunteer spirit with charitable giving at the tournament’s core, stakeholders of the Insperity Invitational made it clear in 2008, following economic uncertainty and Hurricane Ike, that community would always be at the heart of all the award-winning tournament does.

Tournament officials along with its corporate partners – including Hewlett Packard Enterprise – made the decision that admission and parking would be free for all guests. This policy remains in effect today as does additional charitable activations including last week’s Hewlett Packard Enterprise birdie tracker program.

“It is special for our entire team to reflect on another successful tournament and know that, with our generous partners, we are continuing to make a positive impact on our community,” said Bryan Naugle, Executive Director, Insperity Invitational. “This event brings out the community’s incredible spirt of giving, having donated more than $21 million to charity over the last two decades. This is not possible without wonderful partners like Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and we are grateful for them.”

The Insperity Invitational wrapped up on May 4 with PGA TOUR major winner, Stewart Cink, winning a one-hole playoff over Retief Goosen for his second-career PGA TOUR Champions title.
