World number 2, Phil Mickelson, joins other golfing greats both past and present, including Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Lee Westwood, Seve Ballesteros, Ian Poulter and lots more in adding his support for the National Golf Club Challenge, in aid of Help for Heroes.

The Challenge, on course to becoming the biggest amateur golf charity event the UK has seen, will be held on 24th and 25th July 2010. The event will unite hundreds of golf clubs and thousands of golfers in demonstrating their support for our injured armed forces.

As well as raising a lot of money for the Help for Heroes charity, golfers will compete for some outstanding prizes, including golfing holidays to Egypt.

Phil Mickelson
“I applaud the initiative of Help for Heroes. The British military played an essential role in Iraq and it continues to be a force in Afghanistan. Regardless of how you feel about our governments' policies, these fighting men and women and their families are making an enormous sacrifice and deserve our full support.

It is an honor for me to be a part of the PGA Tour's Birdies for the Brave program. I've been fortunate to meet a number of our troops who have benefited from that program and I can tell you that even after they have endured horrific injures their spirit remains strong. These people are an inspiration.

I urge you to support the National Golf Club Challenge and want you to know that your participation will mean more than you can imagine for brave men and women you may never be lucky enough to meet.”
