The Directors Guild Foundation (DGF) is paying tribute to esteemed member and DGF officer Carl Weathers by renaming their premier annual fundraising event in his honor. Going forward, the Tournament will be officially known as the Directors Guild Foundation Carl Weathers Memorial Golf Tournament.
Director and DGF Chairman Todd Holland shared this statement regarding the dedication: “Carl Weathers was the embodiment of dedication to the Directors Guild and the Foundation. For over two decades, he devoted himself to serving the DGA, including as an officer of the Foundation since 2012. Relishing the opportunity to give back, connect with peers, and enjoy quality time with friends and colleagues on the green, Carl Weathers eagerly anticipated the Directors Guild Foundation's annual golf tournament as both a participant and MC of the Tournament reception. His unwavering commitment to the DGF's vital mission and to supporting events like the Golf Tournament was truly inspiring. Carl's passion and support have left an indelible mark that will be remembered for years to come. By renaming our annual Golf Tournament to honor him, we celebrate the invaluable contributions of this remarkable man that has enriched our community. Carl's enduring legacy will forever be woven into the fabric of the DGF's endeavors.”
The Directors Guild Foundation Carl Weathers Memorial Golf Tournament is scheduled for Monday, June 24, 2024, at the Wilshire Country Club. This tournament benefits the Directors Guild Foundation, with all proceeds directly supporting the institution's longstanding tradition of assisting Guild members and the industry for over seven decades.
