Yaqub’s story began at just three years old, when he first held a golf club. Today, at age six, he’s heading to compete against the world’s best young junior golfers—but the financial demands are great and increasing daily. His GoFundMe campaign supports airfare, accommodations, meals, transportation, and tournament fees. Yaqub and his family were welcomed to center stage at the 5th Annual Legacy Ladies Golf Tournament, held at Porter Valley Country Club, June 30, 2025. Mrs. Jackie Castillo, Executive Director of Legacy Ladies, praised the young athlete’s extraordinary talent, perseverance, and humility. She said. “Yaqub is more than a young golfer—he’s a symbol of what happens when talent meets opportunity and is wrapped in love.”
