HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – NFL quarterback Marcus Mariota and his Motiv8 Foundation took over Pearl at Kalauao Monday for their annual charity golf tournament, marking the event\u2019s 10th year.<\/p>\n

Funds raised from the tournament support Mariota\u2019s year-round community efforts in Hawaii and in other places he has called home.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople really get to see what that dollar means and makes a difference,\u201d Mariota said. \u201cI\u2019m just forever grateful to be in this position and I look forward to this every year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s wild to think the amount of people that have been affected and it\u2019s really from the generosity of so many people here,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Mariota\u2019s family members help run the tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the credit goes to my wife, my mom, and Kari (Ann Liebertz, operations manager) who\u2019s really the three women that lead the foundation and do this type of work,\u201d Mariota said.<\/p>\n

Mariota said the tournament also gives his children a chance to experience his old stomping grounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach year as it continues forward, like, being able to bring my kids home,\u201d Mariota said, \u201cbeing here for a couple of weeks at a time, just to be able just to see them experience the things that I got to experience, that\u2019s so important to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s tournament marks Mariota\u2019s 12th NFL season and his third with the Washington Commanders. It is his fifth team, and he said he hopes to stay in Washington.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s kind of crazy to think that this would be the second-longest stint outside of the Titans,\u201d Mariota said. \u201cWhen you have such a great staff, when you\u2019re led by a great person like (head coach Dan Quinn), you realize that you don\u2019t want to bounce around, you don\u2019t want to chase something else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mariota started eight games last season for the injured Jayden Daniels. The experience reignited his passion for the game as he moved into a mentorship role in the quarterback room.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really enjoyed being out there regardless of the result of it,\u201d Mariota said. \u201cIt\u2019s a game that I\u2019ve loved since I was a kid and never wanted to be in those circumstances where you play, but the chance to play and to be out there was a lot of fun and something that I very much cherished.\u201d<\/p>\n
