The match reflects the purpose behind Play With Stephen. The initiative uses golf to bring people together, start meaningful conversations and support the autism community.
Using Golf to Promote Autism Awareness
Golf can serve a purpose beyond competition. It creates opportunities for players, professionals and community leaders to connect in a relaxed environment.
Play With Stephen uses these moments to introduce important conversations about autism. Through each event, the initiative encourages people to learn, listen and support greater inclusion.
The match between Peter and Stephen will bring this mission to life. Both golfers will aim to win. However, the purpose of the day will extend beyond the final score.
Every swing will help draw attention to autism. Each hole will create another opportunity to move the conversation forward. Most importantly, the match will keep autistic individuals and their families at the centre of the campaign.
Building Momentum Towards Tournament Week
The Swing for Autism Matchplay at Lakowe Lakes comes just days before the 2026 Play With Stephen Golf Tournament. The main tournament will take place from 21–23 August 2026 at the same venue.
As tournament week approaches, the match will build excitement and strengthen awareness of the cause. It will also encourage more golfers and community leaders to support the Play With Stephen mission.
For Play With Stephen, success goes beyond the result on the course. It also includes the conversations started, the people reached and the support created for the autism community.
The Peter versus Stephen matchplay represents another step in that journey. It shows how one game can create awareness and inspire people to support a greater purpose.
Every swing counts. Every match matters. Together, they move the mission forward.
