WAITING FOR MIRACLES
TO HAPPEN

What do Olympic great Michael Phelps, President Bill Clinton and actors Michael J. Fox and Morgan Freeman have in common? Aside from gracing our December cover in a special split-cover issue, they're all avid golfers, and they're all public figures who use their high profiles to help the needy. Here, Golf Digest proudly introduces a new franchise, Game Changers: Golfers Who Give Back. Read more about the charitable work of these four famous amateurs, from helping kids learn to swim to finding a cure for Parkinsons Disease. Plus, discover 20 others golfers who give back, including professional golfers and athletes, entertainers, musicians, politicians and corporate executives.
