How much will your golf tournament raise?
Enter your player count, registration price, and how active your auction and sponsorships are to estimate the total your charity golf tournament will raise — and what your cause keeps after fees. The estimate uses Redswing's actual rates: 3% of registrations and 5% of auction, sponsor, and add-on revenue, with 0% on direct donations.
Estimate only — your results will vary with course, market, and turnout. Real rates: 3% of registrations; 5% of auction, sponsors & add-ons; 0% on direct donations. Cover the Fee adds an optional 3% at checkout that passes entirely to your charity. No setup fee, no contract.
How to raise more at your next event
The numbers move fastest when you make it easy to give in more than one way. Sell foursomes and individual spots online, add mulligans and contest entries at checkout, offer self-serve sponsor packages, and run a text-to-bid silent auction that keeps bidding live from the first tee to the 18th green.

Frequently asked questions
How much can a charity golf tournament raise?+
It depends on turnout, registration price, and how you sell auction, sponsorships, and add-ons. A typical 100-player event at $175 registration with an average silent auction and modest sponsorships raises roughly $30,000–$40,000 gross. The calculator on this page lets you model your own numbers.
What drives the most fundraising in a golf tournament?+
After registrations, the biggest levers are sponsorships (the highest-margin revenue) and the silent auction. Text-to-bid auctions in particular keep bids climbing throughout the round and commonly raise 30–40% more than paper bid sheets.
Does this calculator include platform fees?+
Yes. It applies Redswing's real rates — 3% of registrations and 5% of auction, sponsor, and add-on revenue — and shows both what you keep outright and what you keep when players opt to cover the fee at checkout (about 85% do). Direct donations are always free.
