Earlier this summer, Khaled graced the June 2023 cover of Golf Digest with the magazine touting “Khaled’s golf wisdom…pours from him like a sermon at every opportunity.” This same energy was in full effect at his first-ever celebrity golf tournament as he channeled his love for the sport towards giving back to the community.
