Los Verdes Sagrados
Invitacional de golf de celebridades

PRODUCIDO POR TAINO Y SMITHLAB PRODUCTIONS

El Torneo de Golf de Celebridades Sacred Greens es más que un torneo: es un homenaje. Una celebración de la conexión sagrada entre la tierra, el patrimonio y el golf, un deporte atemporal. A lo largo y ancho del país, los campos de golf se asientan sobre tierras que han albergado historias ancestrales; tierras que alguna vez fueron cultivadas con esmero, reverencia y propósito por los pueblos indígenas.
Hoy, esas mismas tierras siguen prosperando, y su belleza se conserva y se cultiva gracias a quienes las han construido y mantenido para que el mundo las disfrute.

A través de la Iniciativa de Espacios Verdes Sagrados, buscamos no dividir, sino unir; honrar a los guardianes de estos espacios verdes que han mantenido su esplendor, al tiempo que reavivamos una alianza con las comunidades indígenas cuyo espíritu e historia permanecen arraigados bajo cada brizna de hierba.

Juntos, celebramos la custodia compartida de la tierra y, juntos, construimos caminos para el reconocimiento, la colaboración y el respeto. Porque al honrar la tierra, honramos a todos los que la han cuidado: en el pasado, en el presente y en el futuro.

Mediante esta iniciativa, TAINO busca preservar nuestras historias, dignificar a nuestro pueblo y asegurar que la belleza de estos espacios verdes sagrados continúe inspirando a las generaciones futuras.

Impact Statement:

The Significance of the Sacred Greens Initiative

The Sacred Greens Initiative was born from a truth shared across cultures — that land is not owned, it is cared for. In Native communities, the land is sacred. It is the giver of life, nourishment, and balance — the foundation upon which all existence depends. It carries the memory of our ancestors and the responsibility of our future. Through the Sacred Greens Initiative, we seek to honor and recognize golf courses across the United States that have continued this sacred relationship by maintaining, nurturing, and beautifying the land through the game of golf.

This initiative stands as a bridge between tradition and recreation — a call to celebrate golf course owners, groundskeepers, and players who show respect for the earth by preserving its serenity, vitality, and natural spirit. These caretakers, knowingly or not, uphold the same principles of reverence and responsibility that Indigenous peoples have lived by for centuries. By honoring them, we affirm that environmental stewardship and cultural respect can coexist — and together, create something profoundly meaningful.

Our mission is not only to acknowledge these courses but to partner with them — to cultivate opportunities that empower local Native and Indigenous communities. Through this partnership, we aim to establish programs that provide scholarships, internships, and mentorships for Native youth and underserved children from surrounding communities. By opening doors in golf management, environmental conservation, and sports leadership, the Sacred Greens Initiative plants seeds of empowerment that will grow into futures grounded in both culture and purpose.

As part of our recognition efforts, each participating golf course in the Sacred Greens Initiative will receive a Sacred Stewardship Award Plaque and a ceremonial tree planting on its property. The plaque will bear the name of the course, the tribal territory on which it sits, and the date of recognition — symbolizing growth, gratitude, and the shared duty of preservation between the course and the community.

Additionally, courses will have the opportunity to participate in our Land & Legacy Educational Marker Program, which includes installing a small, elegant marker near the clubhouse or a signature hole that briefly tells the story of the Native tribe(s) historically connected to that land. These markers will serve as lasting educational symbols — inviting golfers and guests to learn, reflect, and honor the true heritage of the grounds they enjoy.

When we work together — Native nations and golf communities — we celebrate shared values of respect, balance, and harmony with the earth. The Sacred Greens Initiative transforms every round played into an act of remembrance, gratitude, and unity.
