There are some extraordinary people in the world. Archie Qualtrough is one of them.
During the 2019 BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth Golf Club, Tommy Fleetwood helped say an epic ‘thank you’ to the 12-year-old, who has raised thousands of pounds for charity through different golfing initiatives and challenges over the last two years.
Following the tragic death of close family friend and up-and-coming sportsman Ben Stollery, Archie took it upon himself to find his own avenue to raise funds for a number of charities.
That avenue proved to be his passion for golf.
From a 24-hour golfing marathon to a gruelling, five-day coast-to-coast challenge, Archie has, with his tireless dedication to fundraising, raised thousands of pounds for CRY, YoungMinds and the Golf Foundation.
Having heard about Archie’s inspirational efforts, Ryder Cup star Tommy Fleetwood, the European Tour, and Official Partner BMW decided to give this special young man the recognition he truly deserves…
To round off an unforgettable day at Wentworth, and to honour his incredible work, the European Tour Foundation made a donation of £2,000 to one of Archie’s chosen charities – YoungMinds – to kick-start the fundraising around his next charitable undertaking.
