Emma and I have always appreciated our good fortune in being brought up in Sweden in a stable and caring family environment and as we have traveled the world we have become very conscious that there are others far less fortunate who have had to experience serious hardships whilst growing up.

Having our own children - Lisa (2007), Kalle (2010) and Alice (2014)- we feel very strongly that we want to enable other children to fulfil their dreams, ambitions and ultimately their potential in life. Thankfully we have seen the amazing things that can be accomplished with very little encouragement where a benefactor is involved. Hence we set up our Foundation with the support of Sarah Skönby and Philip Barker (see Henrik's Team).

It is our intention to donate some of my winnings from golf to the Foundation and through this donate to various causes that can help children, with a dream and an ambition to match, by providing the initial spark to start them on their mission in life.

In addition to all this the family has taken on their own charitable roles. Lisa already sponsors a child – an orphan growing up in less fortunate circumstances .

Henrik Stenson Foundation offers two annual scholarships along with Paragolfer of the Year. The aim is to encourage disabled golfers in their progress in golf and life in general.

After becoming Champion Golfer of the Year in 2016, The R&A has given the Henrik Stenson Foundation support annually. For this we are truly grateful.

Paragolfer of the Year award 2022 was presented to Torbjörn Svensson and Robin Håkansson at the Activity day 2023.
