Danny List playing for more than just himself at Q School

For Danny List, winning a place on the DP World Tour via the Qualifying School Final Stage would do more than just elevate his career.

List plays under the flag of his Australian father but was raised in Ghana - the country of his mother's birth - and is passionate about raising the golfing profile of the West African nation.

To that end, he has established the Danny List Foundation, a charitable organisation that runs youth programmes, encourages player development and does community outreach work in Ghana.

List honed his own game as a youngster while growing up in Ghana before eventually ending up at the University of Washington and is hopeful that his Foundation and his profile can make it easier for the next generation of Ghanaian golfers.

"It was definitely difficult," he said of his own golfing journey. "Very limited choices for golf courses and at the golf courses the greens would probably be likened to some pretty dodgy fairways in most of the world.

"But it was still good. I love where I come from, it definitely moulded a big part of me.

"I think now we're going to see a lot more talent coming out of Ghana in the near future hopefully.

"I'm unbelievably proud of the Foundation. It's grown very organically and we probably have about 35 kids that we work with both directly and indirectly.

"I'm so proud of the fact that this year we've sent a lot of kids overseas to play in England and different countries and get competition practice that they've never had in their lives.

"I think the things they've learned are invaluable and the talent being noted there is going to be something to look out for."

List's first ranking start came on the PGA Tour of Australasia and while he takes great pride in his Ghanaian roots, he is also happy to fly the flag for the country of his father.

"Golf Australia has always been great to me and I wish I could have two flags on there," he said. "I love my heritage, love representing the Aussies."

Following that start in Australia, List would go on to play mainly on the Canadian and Latin American Tours, while also making an appearance at the 2018 Nordea Masters.

This is his third trip to the DP World Tour Qualifying School, having played First Stage in 2018 and 2022, and should he be successful at INFINITUM, he would have come through all three stages this time.

The 26-year-old was well-placed after two rounds of the six-day marathon and while he was refusing to get carried away, he was excited by the prospect of potentially adding to his appearance in Sweden on a regular basis.

"It would mean the world," he said. "I don't know if there's many, if any, people from Ghana that have made it to the DP World Tour.

"There's still another four rounds to go, it's a long tournament but it would be great."
