BOSTON, Feb. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 240 amateur golfers will compete in the Liberty Mutual Insurance Invitational National Finals at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., February 26- March 1, 2015. The event is the culmination of a series of more than 75 charity golf tournaments around the country in 2014 hosted by Liberty Mutual and local and national charitable organizations that raised more than $7.2 million for charity.

"These foursomes represent 12,000 golfers who generously supported more than 60 charities through our series of amateur golf events, and we look forward to celebrating at TPC Sawgrass their invaluable contributions to their communities," said John Coombe, vice president of brand management and sponsorships at Liberty Mutual.

Two-time U.S. Open Champion and World Golf Hall of Famer Curtis Strange, honorary chairman of the Liberty Mutual Invitational, will be on-hand to interact with the players and conduct an exclusive clinic for the field. "I am proud and honored to support the Liberty Mutual Invitational, a series that has raised over $28 million for so many great charities in just five years," said Strange.

Wide Horizons For Children is just one example of the dozens of Liberty Mutual Invitational beneficiaries, enabling the charity to receive funding to expand its services to ensure the well-being and security of vulnerable and orphaned children worldwide. "We are deeply grateful to Liberty Mutual Insurance for including our organization in the 2014 golf tournament series, as our inaugural event raised nearly $500,000 to support our mission," said Janice Hoffman, Wide Horizons president and CEO. "Thousands of orphaned and vulnerable children around the world will have a brighter future because of this event. Having Liberty Mutual by our side has made an extraordinary difference and we look forward to building on this success in the years ahead."
