EC Markets Celebrity Charity Golf Day at the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club: A Commitment to Impact on and Off the Course

The Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club Course has long been associated with world-class tournaments, global sporting icons and milestone moments in Dubai’s golfing history. Hosting the EC Markets Celebrity Charity Golf Day on this course brought that heritage together with a clear focus on community support, with the LFC Foundation highlighted as a key charitable partner throughout the day.

The event welcomed EC Markets’ senior leadership Matt Smith and Adam Saward, World Snooker No.1 Judd Trump and former Liverpool FC midfielder Jason McAteer for an 18-hole Stableford round. The combination of sporting talent and leadership created a setting where collaboration and purpose aligned naturally.

A Round That Went Beyond the Scorecard

A total charity prize fund of $10,000 was allocated across three categories: $5,000 for first place, and $2,500 each for second and third place.

• Jason McAteer secured first place, directing his $5,000 prize to the LFC Foundation.
• Adam Saward placed second, also donating his $2,500 allocation to the LFC Foundation.
• Finishing third, Judd Trump contributed his $2,500 prize to the Teenage Cancer Trust.

These contributions reflect a collective commitment to supporting organisations that create opportunities, provide essential support and help young people build stronger futures.

Why the LFC Foundation Matters

The LFC Foundation is one of the leading community organisations in global sport, delivering programmes across three core pillars: education, health and opportunity. Last season alone, the Foundation supported more than 145,000 people internationally, underscoring the scale of its work in helping young people build stronger futures.

Its practical, outcome-focused approach aligns closely with EC Markets’ CSR priorities. Directing prize funds toward the Foundation sustains initiatives ranging from skills development and mentoring to community outreach and youth support. The partnership reflects shared values: expanding access, encouraging growth and backing initiatives that deliver lasting results.

A Day Defined by Purpose

The event at Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club highlighted what can be achieved when sport, leadership and community commitment come together. The course provided the backdrop, but the purpose behind the day is what continues forward, a dedication to contributing where it counts and supporting organisations that create real, long-term benefit for individuals and communities.
