In March, all casinos in Nevada were required to shut down for a month in an effort to curb the spread of coronavirus. However, Gov. Steve Sisolak has extended this closure until the end of April.
Chipping All-In
All-In Chipping will split the golfers across several tables. The best performers from each table will proceed to the final round. The tournament will feature live audio from the players, creating an engrossing broadcasting experience for those watching. It will allow viewers to hear the players as though they are in the same room.
The golfer participating will personally acknowledge all viewers who contribute to charity. Moreover, viewers will have the opportunity to interact with the players during a live Q&A session.

MGM Resorts’ Charitable Effort
MGM Resorts International is creating the Chipping All-In initiative to fundraise for the MGM Resorts’ Employee Emergency Grant Fund. The fund, a charitable entity, aims to provide support for the company’s employees and community partners affected by COVID-19.
The MGM Resorts Foundation’s Employee Emergency Grant Fund, which offers short-term relief for employees and their immediate families during unforeseen hardships and emergencies, will receive proceeds from Chipping All-In. This fund aids in making payments or fulfilling obligations.
The fund aims to support those affected by the coronavirus, including full-time and on-call employees, as well as those confronting layoff, separation, or furlough.
Lance Evans, the Senior Vice President of Sports and Sponsorships at MGM Resorts, expressed that their inherent nature is to provide live sports and entertainment experiences to global fans, even during difficult times. He added that ‘Chipping All-In’ will showcase some of the leading PGA and LPGA players, along with sports and media personalities who will participate in support of the Employee Emergency Grant Fund.
