International Presidents Cup team donating $125K to bushfire relief efforts

Just one month after the playing of the Presidents Cup in Australia, the International team announced Saturday that it will donate $125,000 from its charitable fund toward bushfire relief efforts.

Per NBC News: "Twenty-seven people have been killed and thousands subjected to repeat evacuations as monster fires have scorched through more than 25.5 million acres, an area the size of South Korea."

The fires have been especially devastating to wildlife, with as many as one billion animals killed in the blazes, according to an estimate from a biodiversity expert at the University of Sydney, as climate change wreaks havoc on Australia's ecosystem.
